NAMI Care Together: Navigating Relationships Within Complex Family Dynamics

Join us for a CARE Together presentation with Pinkal Panchal exploring how human psychology shapes our relationships within complex family dynamics. We’ll look at how early experiences influence attachment, why certain patterns and reactions show up in our relationships, and how common love styles - Pleaser, Avoider, Vacillator, Controller, and Victim - develop when core needs aren’t met.

You’ll also gain insight into what conflicts are truly about, the tension between safety and connection, and practical ways to shift from automatic reactions to greater awareness. Attendees will leave with tools for creating healthier communication, deeper understanding, and more connected relationships within complicated family systems.
