The harsh reality is that the people we’re closest to, the people we love the most… well, they also know how to hit us where it hurts. They know how to press our buttons, how to annoy us, how to enrage us. We’re more likely to argue and encounter tough times with these individuals. That’s just how it is in our most important relationships—with our parents, our children, and our siblings. We struggle to see eye to eye, to reach an agreement. And sometimes, this causes us to take a step back from our family. After a while, you might wonder, “How exactly do we put the pieces back together?”

“You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.” –Anita Baker

Can My Family Benefit from Family Therapy?

Family therapy is a valuable tool for families that have hit a rough patch. It can prove beneficial in times of stress, heartache, and uncertainty. To be more specific, family therapy can help families accomplish the following:

  • Heal after the death of a loved one
  • Adjust in the wake of a mental illness diagnosis
  • Better manage stressors, such as financial or work stress
  • Adapt amidst a major life change, such as a big move
  • Manage behavioral problems in kids, teens
  • Improve means of communication

The above illustrates several major challenges that many families will face at some point in their lifetime. It’s important that in these times of stress, we focus our energy on getting through it together versus pointing fingers or lashing out at our family members. This is, of course, easier said than done. Fortunately, a family therapist at Thriveworks North Charleston can help you remain calm and properly discuss the problem(s) at hand.

How Does Family Therapy Work? How Can It Help?

Licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT) most commonly lead family therapy. Other mental health professionals also utilize family therapy techniques in their treatment. Family therapy is typically a short-term process, as many families finish treatment after about 9 sessions. Additionally, these sessions usually last about 50 minutes. Of course, the specifics vary on a case by case basis. Your family therapist at Thriveworks North Charleston will assess your specific needs and monitor your progress to determine the best duration of treatment.

Oftentimes, family therapy is rooted in systems theory; additionally, techniques in cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy are often used in family therapy treatment, as they can help families better work through their familial issues. Remember: your family therapist will create a personalized treatment plan for your family! That said, they will set out to help you manage stressors that are negatively impacting family dynamics and also to improve your relationships with one another.
