The Family Systems Institute 22nd Annual Conference, Seeing Patterns in Family Emotional Process – Conflict, distance, over/underfunctioning, focusing on a third person: Examining what helps and hinders family relationships.
A relationship system automatically moves to regulate itself to keep the system functioning. Bowen theory observes predictable patterns in relationships that are part of the automatic ways relationships organise themselves and adapt when the system is under stress. This conference will explore the helpful aspects of these mechanisms – distance, conflict, over/underfunctioning, triangling – as well as highlight examples of when the patterns themselves become part of the relationship dilemma. Join us for this two-day conference as we unpack relationship patterns and explore what helps and hinders calmer family relationships from a family systems approach.
