Parenting and Family Therapy

Family is often the source of our greatest joys in life. Things can be going along just fine. Everybody is doing their thing and getting along fairly well. Suddenly, something drastic happens, that knocks the wind out of your family and you’re left trying to pick up the pieces. This could be any number of things, such as separation, divorce, a family member going to jail, a family member becoming addicted to drugs, or someone dying. These changes can result in you:

• Having overwhelming grief or guilt
• Feeling inadequate, worthless, and powerless
• Isolating yourself and feeling ashamed
• Being confused and not knowing what to do to get through it
• Not knowing who will pick up the slack now
• Screaming and arguing with others because you are not being heard
• Having co-parenting disagreements on what’s best for your children

Just as family is often the source of our greatest joys in life, it can also be the source of our greatest pain. Sometimes, the elders in the family think they deserve respect; yet, they constantly disrespect you. You may find yourself quarreling with other adult family members including your parents, siblings, cousins, etc. as an extension of the hurt and pain they have caused you. These unresolved emotional injuries from the past are exacerbated by rude, disrespectful words and actions that keep your family  in the toxic cycle of drama.

Having a healthy family is challenging work. All families face stressors that sometimes disrupt the peace, joy, and contentment once experienced.  Family therapy provides the opportunity to relieve these pressures and mend bonds, enabling your family to develop the boundaries necessary for a sweet and joyful family dynamic!
