Secrets bind anxiety. When we keep secrets, we trick ourselves into thinking that keeping it will somehow allow us to avoid the pain of revealing it, and while it is true that revealing secrets can come with pain, the real pain is in the choice to keep it. If you and your family want to be rid of the anxiety that gets bound up in secret keeping, then you have to "dump the truck." Get it all out on the table, because it's only in the humility and accountability that you can be truly free.

As we continue diving into family systems, we look at another symptom of the un-differentiated self: Fusion and Emotional Cutoff. While they seem different on the outside, according to Murray Bowen, they're two sides of the same coin. So how do we truly forgive and release those in our family that we don't agree or align with? How do we find our own identity apart from someone else with the fusion runs too deep? Join Brian as he breaks this down with examples of his own life!

One cannot exist without the other: that's true of overfunctioners and underfunctioners. To be in either spot creates anxiety and stress in a family relationship that can have damaging long-term effects. The good news is there's a way to keep emotional relationships with those we love while breaking the cycle of over or under functioning. Join Brian as he breaks down with it is and how we can differentiate to find a healthy equilibrium.

You can live your life how you want, and I get to live my life how I want. Living and allowing others to live this mentality is what it means to self-differentiate, and if we're going to have healthy family systems, we need to put this into practice. It can be very hard to do, but when done well, we can change the paradigm and put away the anxiety. As we being a new series on Between Sundays, come with us and learn what it means to foster a healthy family system!
