Family dynamics—the patterns, roles, and unspoken rules within a family system—profoundly shape how we relate to ourselves, our bodies, and others throughout life.In this insightful presentation, Within's Director of Family Programming, Alexandra Wilkosz, unpacks key concepts from Family Systems Theory, including interdependence, homeostasis, and multigenerational transmission. Viewers will explore how familiar family roles can unconsciously reemerge in treatment settings and interdisciplinary teams, influencing communication, emotional responses, and collaboration among care providers.The session highlights how understanding family dynamics can deepen empathy, reduce conflict, and enhance both clinical care and team functioning—offering tools to support recovery and healthier relationships in and beyond the therapeutic environment.
