Skool Community Exclusive First Look Video
Welcome again everyone, it's been lovely chatting with you - I want to give people in the Skool Community the first look at new videos before they go public, and this is the first one on the idea of 'complementarity'. Minuchin was really into this idea and I've broken it down into a model or framework so that it's easier to understand and, more importantly, USE ;) enjoy. And on my to-do list for this weekend is a PDF to accompany this, I'll send it out in the newsletter next week.

Thank you, Oliver. As a novice, I’m missing how to spot how each person contributes and benefits from the pattern. I appreciate that the video suggested asking questions such as “who is in the room when you feel anxious” as a way of re-cutting the problem to be systemic. Do you have some “go to” questions to understand how the system benefits from the pattern?

Thank you!
Your questions, answered... in a video.
I'm geeking out a little bit because this is exactly why I wanted to build this community. Marcus had a great question about the function of the symptom and left me a comment, so ... I answered it in this video! Boom. Sometimes it's just much easier for me to record a video than typing out all those words so whenever I can, I'll try make a video to answer questions, and in the near future, I'll figure out how to do a live Q&A.

Thank you! Very helpful, an always. I’m going to be using these ideas tomorrow!
Let me help you out with that...
To get access to all the different 'classrooms', all you have to do is write 'Family Systems' in the comments below. This is a *community* and it works better if we interact…, so bonus points if you feel bold enough to introduce yourself and say a bit more about what you're looking for FYI - this is to keep this community geared towards clinicians and graduate students and to keep the spam bots out.

Howdy, I'm Marcus. I'm an MFT student in Oregon, graduating in December. I'm 6mo into my 12mo practicum year, and want to become more at using family systems theory in my work. I'm also a novice, so I need all the help I can get!
