Families
We cannot ignore the importance of our family relationships on our general well being. It is the place where the most meaningful connection is to be found, but also the place where distance and misunderstanding can be most devastating.
The deeply personal nature of the relationships makes fighting, tension and distance all that more painful. It might be tempting to avoid the problems and sweep them under the rug.
But our family relationships can affect our well being in other areas of life. When we feel alone and unsupported, we approach life with fear and insecurity. When your family is at it’s best it can be the support you need to be bold and brave, to live a fulfilling life of your own design.
Ignoring the problem could lead you to missing out on what life has to offer. Improving communication can foster greater understanding, closeness and teamwork. The yearning for connection, understanding and loving acceptance is present in every person. When a family is distant, arguing or tense, it is because something is blocking them from letting their guard down and relying on each other for support.
In family therapy, we will explore each person’s behaviors, beliefs, desires and struggles. We will also explore how each person contributes to the negative patterns that your family is stuck in.
Family therapy is a chance for everyone to be heard and respected. It is an opportunity to find out and address the issues that underlie the surface problems and disagreements.
