This small group coaching seminar will use the method of coaching developed by Murray Bowen to help participants explore relationships in their own families of origin, applying systems theory to family relationships. Participants will use genograms to track family patterns and decide what patterns they may want to change. Coaching, a method of changing one’s position in one’s family system, has been compared to Zen. Its methods are educational and cognitive, but the process relates to the existential goal of developing person-to-person relationships with members of one’s family, while maintaining a solid sense of values and goals. Topics include: traumatic loss, siblings, conflict, cutoffs, addiction, suicide, abuse and migration.
