NAVIGATING SYSTEMS
Summer Program 2021
Summer Research Project: Self In the System
Most of us want to be more autonomous and less controlled by relationship situations in our family and at work.
This year our summer session will focus on how you can create a way to track your ability to be more separate and less responsive to your emotional system, which includes both the nuclear and the multigenerational family. This project promotes your ability to use systems knowledge to anticipate and manage self in difficult situations.
The Navigating Systems summer session is a series of three two-hour webinars intended to keep you focused and thinking systems. It is designed to identify a way to assess your system and your personal Bowen systems methodology.
The summer session establishes an environment for participants to
to assess where you are in your own emotional system;
to create an action plan to accomplish what is important to you;
to hold yourself accountable to your plan.
Resources include materials developed by other Bowen family systems theory practitioners

“The person who acquires a little ability at becoming an observer, and at controlling some of his emotional reactiveness acquires an ability that is useful for life in all kinds of emotional snarls. Most of the time he can live his life, reacting with appropriate and natural emotional responses, but with the knowledge that at any time he can back out of the situation, slow down his reactiveness, and make observations that help him control himself and the situation.”
