My adult children and I decided to take an online course together about family systems, thinking it would help us communicate better, but it's actually surfacing a lot of old family patterns and everyone's getting defensive instead of curious. We're supposed to be learning about healthy family dynamics but we can't seem to apply any of it to ourselves in the moment.
More people experience this than they realize.
A family attempting to learn about their own dynamics together is finding that the learning process itself triggers the very patterns they're trying to understand, creating a paradox where knowledge and practice remain disconnected.
