Family Systems Theory, Part I: Transcending Anxiety and Codependency in Communities, Families, and Organizations

All communities involving human beings can be held captive by anxiety. In this episode, we explore the core ideas of Family Systems Theory: that in unhealthy systems, the entire system may orient around the anxiety of its most anxious member(s). That systems are resistant to change. That triangulation is a function of codependency. And that the only path out of anxious systems is through self-leadership and differentiation, through which a new and extraordinary future becomes possible.
