Overcome all Hurdles And Issues With A Family Therapists And Get  Your Family Together Again

Our families impact, for good and for worse, who we really are and who we become. We learn our language, our behaviors, our culture, and traditions, how the world surrounding us should be interpreted and experienced. From the very first meaningful relationships, we all learn to appreciate and how to communicate with one another.

We are inclined to understand how to sustain meaningful relationships if we are born into a supportive family with healthy relationships. We might even fail to connect with one another whether we are born into a broken family that fails to connect. Although being born into the second form of family is definitely unfortunate, it’s not an unalterable circumstance. At one time or another, nearly all families struggle with some form of dysfunction, but most families maintain or recover a feeling of happiness and satisfaction.

What is Family Therapy?

I am among the very few life coaches in the country who believe that family counselling is a type of psychotherapy that aims to alleviate anxiety and tension through the improvement of relationship processes between family members. Although family therapists frequently strive to get all family members in the room (affected by the issue), this is not always feasible or appropriate. It is their viewpoint or framework that separates family therapy from individual counseling, not how many persons are represented at the counseling session.

As per my methods and experience, family counseling can use cognitive therapy strategies and activities, behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, or other forms of individual therapy. As for all forms of therapy, the methods used will depend on the particular conditions that the person or consumers have.

In infants, behavioral or mental difficulties are important reasons to see a family therapist. The issues of a child do not occur in a vacuum; within the family background, they exist and would continue to be resolved.

I just want  the people to know that they should remember that the word ‘family’ doesn’t really usually mean family members in family therapy or counseling. In these types of scenarios, “family” is something that always acts as a long-term supporting element in everyone’s life, living under the same roof, may or may not include blood relationships.

In my experiences, I encountered Akshay’s situation and it was about when Akshay was in 3rd grade; for instance, his father lost his job. Akshay’s parents began to continually argue over money, to the point that Akshay was too eager to sleep every night. Akshay began doing badly at school after a few months and got into conflicts on the way to school. Although Akshay’s original referral was to undergo counseling to assist him with his violent actions, the psychiatrist quickly discovered that the conduct of Akshay was only a sign of family tension. 

The family structure struggled to recover its unity, long though his father began functioning again. Bad coping techniques had grown, anger and resentment had accumulated, and Akshay’s actions distressed both his parents and his 12-year-old sister, who had recently started to become disobedient from school,. Family counseling was the only option that made it possible to resolve all these issues together. After spending some sessions and making the family of Akshay and himself understand the family value and other things, I have helped the entire family to come out of problems. 

Types of Family Therapy

There are different types of family therapy methods used by professionals; below are the detailed descriptions of the most common ones. 

Bowenian

For those who cannot or do not wish to allow family members into the counseling session, this type of family therapy is the strongest. Two main principles, convergence and distinction, are used by Bowenian family therapy. By including a third person (i.e., a mother moaning about her husband to her daughter), triangulation entails the inherent urge to divert anxiety or confrontation. In one’s experiences with family members, a distinction has to do with practicing to become less emotionally responsive. Methods such as written communication are used to minimize emotional reactivity levels and improve communication among members of the family. For a more detailed summary of the Bowenian Method of Family Counseling, you can get in touch with me.

Structural 

It reflects on reordering the family structure as per the allocation of responsibilities and power amongst family members. Hierarchical problems are resolved, meaning that parents (or adult caretakers in the home) are in charge and collaborating as a team to set acceptable limits for children. By “joining” with the family, the therapist enhances parent and sibling connections to help ensure that no one person or dyad (two people) has so much influence in the family structure. Joining” the family also might involve having one or more family members move underneath a one-way mirror so, amongst other family members, the therapist can find out communication patterns.” For an in-detail overview of Bowenian Family Therapy, make an appointment with me.

Systemic 

This model reflects on the context underlying the actions of family members and suggests that family bonding takes place at an implicit stage. The psychiatrist uses a neutral and distant method but challenges the family with attitudes and practices that encourage members of the family to assign various insights and understandings as to why an issue exists. Control is not seen as contributing in the family to any individual person, but rather to the subconscious “game” in which family members cooperate to keep a conflict going.

Strategic 

This is a straightforward and brief method to family counseling, perfect for those who seek outcomes in a small space of time. The family therapist endorses homework in this straightforward approach to modify the way family members connect with the person diagnosed as having the problem” or “symptom.” Similar to most family therapy techniques, hierarchies, coalitions, and contact structures are examined. 

Popular tactics used in strategic family counseling administer the condition to the family i.e., advise them to shout more at each other while reframing the dilemma of the family from a negative to a constructive one. The psychiatrist takes over influence from the individual of the community who continues to manipulate and regulate family relationships, making it easier to alter communication habits in a way that helps the problems of the “holder” of the relationship to get better.

How can Family therapy help in solving disputes and differences?

I have  years of experience in helping families with proper counseling and therapeutic sessions to help them in making things better. Here is an overview of how I can help a family to recognize the problems and solve them to strengthen the relationship within them. 

Better Communication

The role of connectivity in relationships is frequently undervalued by individuals. This is especially true as there are many members involved in the relationship, such as those of a family. In larger classes, misunderstandings arise quickly. Furthermore, persons do not publicly express their thoughts, or one participant may be severely impaired by contact problems within the wider group. Family counseling offers resources and perspectives that help to speak and be heard more easily by members of the same family.

Improved Group Dynamics

The patterns of relationships among members of the group are family dynamics. Over a lifespan, these habits will become dangerous. They’re also, however, hard to crack. One of the advantages of gaining a degree in marriage and family is that practitioners can help people understand the ways and patterns within them. They will then assist them with discovering new, better ways to communicate.

Increased Self-Esteem

A legacy of poor dynamics in the family will cause certain members to feel bad towards themselves. This is tragic and will also be corrected by sessions of family counseling. They will continue to feel better about themselves while members try to find points of friction and eventually seek to overcome these problems. 

It can be a symbol of encouragement to conquer such obstacles within the family. It may also contribute to improved awareness among members that concerns are generally not just the fault of one person. In rising feelings of self-worth, this awareness can be highly beneficial.

Source of Support During Life Transitions

During major life changes, some of the most difficult times within families will occur. Such transitions may be either negative or constructive. In family dynamics, items such as change, divorce, death, or vacant nesting can cause upheaval. Family counseling will act as a lifeline for members who are coping by offering assistance with coordination, sorrow, and adapting to new situations at those times.

Mental and physical health

For mental and physical health, being calm and in harmony is essential. However, harmony comes because everyone knows each other and is prepared to function as a team. As long as somebody listens to your woes and supports you wherever possible, then more peace can be shared by all family members. Yet many adults need to consider their partners and children with supportive cooperation; the family can be helped to recognize these conflicts and realize how to address them in a healthy, informed manner with the aid of a family and a family counselor.

What you can expect from my family therapy sessions-

• Looking at the family as a whole rather than dwelling on the “problem” of a specific child
• Teaching stronger skills in conversation
• Supporting the family to identify problem points and circumstances that may make some members of the family nervous or angry
• Assisting all members of a family feel better for themselves and recognize that they are not alone
• To help all members of the family deal with their dilemma, leveraging the abilities only within the family.

How many sessions will be there?

Family therapy is mostly a short-term procedure, but depending on the seriousness of the issues and the ability of the family members to partake in counseling, the number of sessions varies. Every session will not be attended by all family members. The family and psychiatrist will set expectations at the outset of therapy, and the therapist will decide who has to attend individual sessions.
