Adult Family Therapy and Conflict Resolution
Rupture is inevitable, but it’s the repair that counts
Relationships are one of the best & hardest parts of life.
Family therapy for adults can look very different then with young children. Unlike with children, many adults have the choice to not rely on their family system. Instead of cutting family out of ones life, there is another way. Adult family therapy can help families work through old hurts, learn better tools to communicate and navigate each person’s boundaries more effectively. It creates a safe space to talk about past pains, crises, or even dysfunctional family roles. It is possible to change relationship dynamics and foster new ways of communicating without cutting off contact. Families can re-connect without falling into the old entrenched and painful patterns.
You’re tired of feeling:
That you’re family doesn’t respect your choices
There are no boundaries between people
That fights have gone on for years
There are secrets being kept from each other
There are health or mental health issues within your family that need to be addressed
how i can help
Family therapy can make your family function again.
Adults seeking therapy with their family members is such an act of love for a family of origin. At the end of the day, we want to know that our families understand us and are a safe place. The first step of family therapy is creating shared goals and visions for the future. Family therapy can create new dynamics for families, unveil and interrupt long standing patterns, and address things that have gone unspoken.
Addressing the past isn’t about placing blame or punishing someone for what occurred, but about gaining clarity. By understanding what happened and why it happened, family members can hopefully take steps to break bad patterns, let go of resentments and make changes in how they relate to one another
