Podcast Episode 2: Self-Differentiation

Self-Differentiation is the key to remaining a non-anxious leader. This episode explains what it is and why it matters.

Generation to Generation: Family Process in Church and Synagogue by Edwin Friedman is a great resource for understanding self-differentiation. However, it is quite dense. Many have a hard time getting through it.

You can also find a great overview of family systems theory at The Bowen Center website. Self-differentiation is the second of eight concepts they cover.
