Family therapy focuses on your own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while understanding that others have their own too.
The counselor is there to:
- Encourage and support the family
- Guide them in effective communication
- Discuss their expectations
- Teach emotional regulation
- Demonstrate fair fighting and conflict resolution
- Help them understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy boundaries
It’s about developing knowledge as to how it all impacts each other and the relationship – To work as a team, not against each other.
