A Methodical Approach to Sorting Complexity
Learn the body-mind-spirit approach that can enable you to identify patterns in the seemingly chaotic phases of life and improve your reactions to them. Allow healthy habits to grow into the patterns of empowered leadership.
What Is HSD?
Human Systems Dynamics is a practice founded upon the principle that complex situations include a series of patterns and dynamic systems our brains tap into to process them.
When processing becomes difficult, there are therapy methods that can be used to simplify it by:
- Reducing unconscious or instinctive fight-flight-freeze responses so healthy habits are able to form.
- Coaching the adaptive action cycle so that conscious learning can create new skills.
- Providing ways to use conscious decisions to improve interdependent and independent relationships and behaviors
Our Experience
Dr. Janice Ryan became a Certified Human Systems Dynamics Associate in 2008 and had her work featured in a book written on the subject titled, Adaptive Action: Leveraging Uncertainty in Your Organization, published by Stanford University Press (Eoyang & Holladay, 2013).
She has applied the “Adaptive Action” model for promoting adaptive capacity building in treatment of people with mental and cognitive health challenges over the lifespan as well as in classrooms, health care systems, and for academic program development.
"It has been a pleasure to work, teach, and learn with Janice since she became an Associate of the Human Systems Dynamics Institute in 2008. Three things make her a extraordinary scholar-practitioner.
First, her empathy and insight put her inside the perceptions of others. This is true in her occupational therapy work as well as her teaching, learning, research.
Second, Janice has a wide-ranging frame of reference. She has studied deeply in a variety of disciplines and integrates them all into her analysis, decision-making, and action.
Third, she is curious. In spite of her expertise and deep insights, she continues to stand in inquiry about the world of action and ideas in which she lives and works."

Who Can Benefit
Human systems dynamics is beneficial for those who become stressed and anxious when the to-do list gets long or searching for ways to improve efficiency in their lives and work, also known as The Red Queen Effect.
It can help families live healthier lives, develop better relationships, and rejoice in their complete individual identities by reducing the drama that characterizes families and communities of people who are living with the ongoing stress of previous trauma, cognitive, or mental health challenges. Human systems dynamics can help you and your family align goals to improve overall quality of life.
Human Systems Dynamics can also be used to promote healthier work and service delivery environments in any healthcare, business, or organizational setting. Attunement Solutions can provide HSD workshops to you and your team.
