Bowen Family Systems Theory 2025-26

At the end of the day, we all just want long-term, life-altering change. We all want to live a life guided by principle rather than fear or worry. And deep down, we do have the capacity to calm ourselves.
We are capable of shutting off our autopilot and grabbing the controls. And by choosing how we handle our anxiety, we choose our fate. So let me tell you about a theory that changed my life.
Everything Isn’t Terrible, Dr. Kathleen Smith

Less anxious.
Better and best thinking.
Responding not reacting.
Principled decision making.
More time for what matters most.
These are just some of the many ways clergy have said their church leadership and families have been aided by Bowen Family Systems Theory.

I’m excited to offer two opportunities for pastors and church leaders to discover and apply family systems. An introduction is for those new to the theory and its concepts, and a continuing seminar supports those in their ongoing process.
