You may have heard of family therapy before, but what is it exactly? And how can your family benefit from family therapy?

Well, family therapy focuses specifically on family relationships. It works from the premise that a problem lies within the family as a whole, rather than with a single person within the family unit. It helps family members to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, to deepen their understanding of each other, and to appreciate each other’s needs better and make changes in their lives.

Family therapy can be useful in any family situation that causes stress, grief, anger or conflict. It can help you and your family members understand one another better and learn coping skills to bring you closer together.

The goal of family therapy is to meet the needs of all of the members in the family. The solution strived for in family therapy is for the family to function better because, when the family functions better as a whole, each individual within the system does better.

Every family should benefit from family therapy. Even if they have no major issues or conflicts. Therapy should be like going to the gym, going for a walk and going for picnics on the weekend. It’s something that supports a more positive, healthy family life – and everyone can benefit from it.
