FAMILY THERAPY
WHAT IS FAMILY THERAPY?
Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves working with families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. It focuses on the dynamics within the family unit, addressing issues such as parenting challenges, marital problems, and the effects of mental health conditions. By bringing family members together in a safe and supportive environment, therapists help them explore their feelings, understand each other’s perspectives, and develop healthier ways to interact.
HOW DOES FAMILY THERAPY WORK?
Family therapy is effective because it recognizes that individual behaviors are often influenced by family dynamics. By addressing issues collectively, family members can gain insight into patterns of interaction that may contribute to conflicts or distress. This collaborative approach fosters empathy and understanding, allowing families to rebuild trust and support systems. Additionally, family therapy equips members with practical tools for communication and problem-solving, promoting lasting change and resilience within the family unit.
