Understanding Trauma and Differentiation of Self in Family Systems: Insights from Alan Flashman, MD

This work explores the intricate relationship between trauma, emotional regulation, and the differentiation of self within family systems. Drawing on the theories of noted psychologists including Murray Bowen, it examines the dynamic roles of family members (father, mother, children) and how these relationships influence individual development and emotional health. With a focus on co-creation and intersubjective regulation, this analysis provides a framework for understanding trauma's impact on family dynamics and personal identity, promoting a journey toward higher differentiation and emotional resilience.
