Bowen Family Systems in Redding, CA for Lasting Change

At Bydand Therapy, we believe in the power of understanding and transforming relational dynamics to foster lasting change. We are committed to serving the unique needs of the Redding community. Our approach, rooted in Bowen Family Systems Theory, emphasizes the interconnectedness of family and relationship systems, helping you navigate life's complexities with clarity and confidence.

What is Bowen Family Systems Theory?

Bowen Family Systems Theory, developed by Dr. Murray Bowen, offers a comprehensive framework for understanding human behavior within the context of family systems. It focuses on how individuals function within relationships and the impact of multigenerational patterns on current issues. Key concepts include:

  • Differentiation of Self: Maintaining your sense of self while staying emotionally connected to others.
  • Triangles: Understanding and managing the smallest stable relationship unit to reduce tension.
  • Family Projection Process: Identifying and breaking cycles where parents project their emotional issues onto their children.
  • Multigenerational Transmission Process: Tracing and addressing family patterns that span generations.

Our Approach

At Bydand Therapy, we use these principles to guide our therapeutic and coaching services, helping residents of Redding achieve:

  • Improved Emotional Regulation: Learn to balance your emotions and intellectual functioning for healthier interactions.
  • Enhanced Relationship Dynamics: Address and resolve relational conflicts by understanding underlying patterns.
  • Personal Growth: Develop a stronger sense of self and improve your ability to navigate life's challenges.
