Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the intergenerational patterns through heuristic enquiry. Understanding the intergenerational patterns can help the future generation to have a safer and empowered life along with providing directions in terms of development of future interventions. The primary objective of the research was to explore the embodied emotional experience of recollection of memories related to parenting styles of extended family. In addition, the objective was to explore the impact of intergenerational transmission of patterns on peer relationships and the belief system. The material was processed largely according to the framework suggested by Moustakas research stages of initial engagement, immersion, incubation, illumination, explication and creative synthesis. Through recurrent journaling, art work and role play, a set of themes were discovered. The themes which were observed through repetition and similarities were fear, relationship and self-concept. The results reinforced the importance of identifying one’s intergenerational patterns as a means to heal and grow oneself and the future generations.
