This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
What would family be without petty fights about who gets to pick what’s for dinner or what TV show you’ll watch tonight? What would family be without poking a little fun at one another every now and then? What would family be without the bickering and the teasing? Besides, under these petty fights and jokes is a solid, strong foundation of love—right?
It’s normal for family members to fight or disagree. In fact, there’s nothing wrong or unhealthy about fighting or disagreeing from time to time. However, there is a right and wrong way to resolve these arguments. The right way involves talking patiently and openly about your differences. The wrong way involves shouting at, belittling, and talking down to your loved ones.
In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, bridge to our future.”
–Alex Haley
In family therapy, families learn how to properly resolve their arguments and differences. Families also work on building a stronger foundation for their relationships, one that can better withstand the conflicts that arise over time. In addition, family therapy can help families work through painful, traumatic, stressful, and otherwise difficult times. If this sounds like a service that your family could benefit from, consider scheduling family therapy at Thriveworks Delaware. Our counselors operate completely online. This means that they meet with their clients in a virtual setting, via telephone or video. Either way, they find success in helping the families that they meet with find resolution, strengthen their foundation and bonds, and work through specific challenges.
