Family Therapy
1+1, 2+1, 2+3
Whatever Combination = Family Therapy
Almost every household experiences a level of family conflict at some point.
Conflict can be between a parent and child, among siblings, or throughout the entire family. Family conflicts can become overwhelming and difficult to resolve alone.
Have you experienced:
- Angry outbursts toward one another
- Physical aggression or violence toward each other
- Feeling alone and disconnected
- Disruption in daily functioning
- Stress
- Behavioral issues with children
- Mood disturbance or mood swings
- Acting out, defiant behavior
- Problems with school, work, or social life
When relationships are often argumentative, negative, and hostile toward one another, family therapy is best.
It’s Not You!
No one person is at fault for any of the conflict or disturbance in the family.
Everyone has an equal part.
It would be easier to believe that all the blame falls on one person; however, it’s most often the system in which we function that isn’t working, not always the people.
Let’s look at why the system isn’t working.
There is great risk when a family struggles to work together. It has a negative impact on your current wellbeing and can continue to repeat the cycle of dysfunction for generations to come.
Family therapy focuses on identifying the conflicts, patterns, and the dynamics of the family as a whole. Together the family works to reduce the stress or problem that is focused on one or more individuals, while causing strain on the entire family.
Throughout this process the family learns how to set healthy boundaries, explore individual roles within the family, changes roles if needed, understand one another and support each other.
Having a greater understanding of how each person feels and functions within the family results in changing the dynamics that were no longer working and building a healthy effective family.
Learning new tools to work together will result in the family environment that feels safe, peaceful and supports growth and wellness for everyone.
