Family Therapy
“I want to get off this crazy train!
There is nothing fun about this dysfunction!”
Oh, Family…
The foundation of our society and the reason for all that we do… the long days at work, the cooking, cleaning, PTAs, sports, music lessons, etc.
We want to support and provide for those that matter most. But, unfortunately, there’s no handbook for how to make all these interconnecting pieces and individuals work and get along.
So, when it’s good, nothing feels better. But, when things get hard, and loud, and raw… we all feel at a loss… because this is who we’re supposed to turn to!
How do we make this whole dynamic work?
It’s Hard Being Around Each Other
As the saying goes, “You can’t live with them, and you can’t live without them.” You need your family, and they need you. But somehow, we end up treating our family the worst. That’s how it feels anyway.
Yet on your social media feeds, other families don’t look like yours. Houses are tidy. They have fun! And… they’re smiling!
Yet within your family, there are deep hurts. Unwritten rules have been broken. There are skeletons in the closet. And shame, guilt, abuse, and addiction all thrive behind closed doors.
Break the Unhealthy Cycles
While most families have their fair share of the good and the bad, sadly, the sins of the fathers are often passed down. Dysfunctional and destructive behaviors aren’t shaken off easily. It takes courage to face the truth of where your family is and to want to do something about it.
Family Therapy can help bring out and slow down your challenging interactions, so you don’t get stuck in the same old patterns of hurt and attack, parry, and withdrawal.
For the same cost as individual therapy, you can bring any number of family members and sit down with our therapists, who will help you reconnect with each other. And find healing from all the hidden and hard things you have to face.
You don’t need to feel lost as you navigate the ups and downs of family life. You can rediscover and reclaim the joy of being together!
