How Bowen Theory Applies to Our Personal Lives Episode 2

The faculty of Navigating Systems continue their irreverent conversations titled: Three Failures on a Couch. Rave reviews from their first video blog titled “Three Failures on a Couch” prompted the faculty of Navigating Systems to continue their dialogue addressing real world application of Bowen Family Systems Theory to family and professional life. As the author Annie Lamott relates “there is nothing outside of yourself that will help in any way, unless you are awaiting an organ; you cannot buy it, or steal it, or marry it; this is the most horrible truth". This second conversation relates how each person addresses the opportunities to be more of a self in their family and work relationships. Sometimes successful, often a continuing work in progress, each effort provides ways to evaluate and consider new strategies for the listener to become more of a self.
