Our family influences who we are and who we become, both for the better and for the worse. Our interactions with family can affect how we see ourselves, how we perceive others, and how we view the world. Family conflict can be a significant source of stress, discomfort, and unhappiness, and a lack of family support and understanding can feel isolating. Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.
Life changes and stressors can impact family dynamics. Sometimes, the patterns of communication within a family are ineffective and hurtful.
Common reasons for seeking family therapy include:
- Divorce or separation
- Conflict between family members
