Family relationships can bring joy, pain, sorrow, excitement, or disdain. They can even provide comfort or relief during the most tumultuous periods of our lives. That’s why some of the greatest books, movies, and television shows focus on family systems and relationships. Families are the source of so many rich stories and can reflect human relationships at their best and worst.

In the early ’90s, millions of people tuned in every week to watch Full House and continue to watch reruns of the popular television program to this day. Adults and children alike could find a character to connect with, from the cool Uncle Jesse to the rambunctious middle child Stephanie. Throughout the series, viewers witnessed the three girls grow up and learn how to navigate life without their mother. Audiences also saw and appreciated how their single father, Danny Tanner, approached parenthood after the loss of his wife.

At the beginning of the Full House theme song, Jesse Frederick relatably sings, “Whatever happened to predictability?” Curveballs will come your way throughout life and pose challenges for you and your family, and may affect your relationships with one another. The way you and your family members choose to respond to changes and challenges can impact your family bind and dynamic long term.

Thriveworks Counseling in Lexington, KY provides family therapy to help field life’s curveballs and navigate events as a cohesive unit. If your family is having trouble navigating a new change, or you can’t seem to see eye-to-eye, call our office today to connect with a licensed family and marriage counselor.

The Impact of Family Therapy

Many people view their family as the most important component in their life, while others may feel distant or alienated from their family members. Either way, it’s difficult to deny the profound impact family has on your life. Your first memories may be influenced by the presence or absence of a parent. Maybe certain traumas or behavioral problems stem from childhood, leading to damaged family relationships and difficulty connecting with others later in life.

Family counseling serves as an opportunity to repair broken bonds or severed relationships and can help you come to terms with past trauma.

In family therapy, you might address some of the following issues:

  • Abandonment issues
  • Financial issues
  • Grief or loss of a loved one
  • LGBTQ+ issues
  • Separation, divorce, or remarriage
  • Adoption
  • Blending families
  • Unresolved conflict
  • Past trauma
  • Domestic abuse
  • Substance abuse or addiction
  • Behavioral problems in children or adults
  • A major life change

Family counseling can help you heal and repair family relationships, obtain closure due to unresolved traumas or loss, and strengthen the connections between you. If you are ready to address and overcome the issues your family is facing, a licensed family therapist at Thriveworks in Lexington, KY is ready to help.

How Does Family Therapy Work?

In family therapy, a licensed marriage and family therapist will encourage family members to speak as openly and honestly as possible about their feelings, thoughts, and concerns. Initially, your therapist or counselor may observe how family members interact with one another, evaluate the family’s needs, and determine an appropriate treatment plan.

At Thriveworks Counseling in Lexington, KY, our therapists and counselors tailor each individual session to address your family’s specific needs. Family counseling or therapy sessions may help your family with the following:

  • Explore family roles, behavioral patterns, and rules
  • Develop effective communication and collaborative problem solving
  • Address past traumas or loss
  • Identify your family’s strengths and weaknesses
  • Pinpoint specific challenges and disrupt dysfunctional patterns
  • Set individual and family goals and create a plan to achieve them
  • Discover new ways to understand, accept, and relate to one another

With the help of a counselor or therapist, your family can become a more harmonious, efficient, and compassionate unit. To set up your first appointment, call the Thriveworks scheduling specialists in Lexington, KY or use our online portal.
