Conscious Counseling offers services for RESOLVE to keep families emotional healthy.
In order to RESOLVE, couples learn tools to communicate, learn how to fight fair and not to win or lose. Finding the path toward love and friendship again will bring excitement and connection.
Our treatment method is known as Systems theory, training from the world re known Ackerman Institute For Families and Couples.
located in New York City
Systems theory states that the system itself is more significant than all of the individual parts that comprise it. Two systems theories allow the ability for a family to adapt to their environment, the first being morphostasis, meaning “changing to adapt or adapting to change,” and the second, morphogenesis, which is the family’s ability to grow and change for the better because of internal or external environmental conditions. Additionally, a system has feedback loops from the individuals and others that modify and create the system.
In a family system, the system refers to the family unit, though it can have smaller systems, sometimes referred to as subsystems. These might be the parents, brothers and sisters, stepchildren, or any extended family currently living with the nuclear family unit. Additionally, there is both negative and positive feedback in the family dynamic and applying systems theory.
- Negative feedback loops are expectations and communication that do not offer change
- Positive feedback loops offer change
Boundaries are another component of communication and interaction within the family. Boundaries have to do with both how information exits and enters the family. For example, some information may be held only inside the family, while others may be shared with non-family members. Boundaries on information can be tied to the expectations set by the family leaders, such as the parents or caretakers.
Additionally, homeostasis argues that family members always try to obtain a balance within their interactions; systems theory can also be thought of in terms of homeostasis and teamwork in a work environment. If a team works very efficiently and accomplishes many tasks, they have achieved a state of homeostasis. However, if the team is easily disrupted by distractions or is inefficient, they have not achieved homeostasis. Adaptation is how a family readjusts to anything that changes within the environment of the family unit.
Systems theory was created because of the effect behaviorism had on psychology. It addresses the weakness of mechanistic approaches and provides an excellent framework to solve problems because it analyzes the interdependence and wholeness of the system.
Understanding how the system works also lends itself to also carefully shifting the systems when it chooses to separate and morph into another system when on spouse moves away from the family home.
