Continuing Education Workshop Description:
Models for couples therapy are based on, well… couples. So if you work with non-monogamy, these modalities can fall short and leave therapists wanting more. Because any grouping of people can replicate our Family of Origin patterns (including work teams, friend groups, and, of course, polycules), applying Family Systems Theory can be helpful.
This continuing education workshop will apply Family Systems Theory to non-monogamous groups of 3 or more and offer ways that this lens can improve the quality of their relationships.
Taught by B Lourenco, who has both lived experience with Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) and extensive training in Family Systems Theory, this class is sure to leave you thinking about polycules in a different way.
Continuing Education Workshop Objectives:
After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe how Bowen Family Systems Theory can be conceptually applied to non-monogamous dynamics
- Name at least 2 ways to use Family Systems Theory to help support non-monogamous clients
