Safe Environment
Therapy is a safe space in which to air your grievances. You learn how to resolve conflict in a heathy matter. You learn how to communicate more effectively. Therapy teaches you how to be assertive without being aggressive. Both adults and children need to be able to feel that they can express themselves and be heard. We can help you as a family create healthy boundaries.
Negative emotions such as anger and resentment can be expressed safely in counselling sessions. Addiction issues can also be discussed and addressed.
A Happier Family
During difficult times it can be easier to find happiness and acceptance in other things and disregard relationship problems within families. Children and teenagers can retreat to their rooms and spend endless hours on technology, finding acceptance in these places rather than spending quality time with the family. Phones and gadgets are there as a means of happiness when there are problems, rather than communicating with the people involved and solving them head on.
Problem behaviour can be an outlet that masks the truth that the family member is facing some kind of trouble or problem.
Therapy that involves the whole family can deal with any problems.
Whether your family has been having problems for some time, you are going through hard times, or facing a particular issues, Adelaide Counselling Practice can help with family therapy. For more information about Family Counselling, or marriage counselling, or to make an appointment, contact us.
