How Dysfunction Plays Out in Family Systems, with Kaye Schneider, MATM, MAFS, DMin
Family systems are complex for so many reasons. We were designed with a need to belong in relationships where we can connect and express our needs and in turn, care for others, too. When this happens regularly, we have the chance to thrive in these relationships. This can lead to a lot of joy and fulfillment!
But when any family member finds themselves stuck in cycles of shame, that shame impacts the rest of the family. When our circumstances feel too chaotic, we turn to specific behaviors and strategies to try to find safety.
In this episode, Kaye Schneider, MTh, MP, DRM will share the different roles we adopt to cope with dysfunction. Kaye will share how God used the confusion of a devastating divorce to begin her journey of equipping families with tools for handling conflict and tension in relationships.
