BONDING FAMILY WITH THERAPY

Problems in relationships happen at all levels. It does not always have to be with a partner, it can be with a close friend or a family member as well. Family is the closest bond that a person has. A family that is tightly knit strives to face all the problems that come their way together. But sometimes some issues can be gruesome, that none of their attempt actually lands them with a solution. In some cases, a family friend or a relative might come out to help solve the issues. But when even that doesn’t work, it is time for the family to approach a family therapist.

A family therapist works directly with couples and family to help them solve some marital or family problems. He or she becomes the mediator between the people involved. Sometimes all that a family or a couple needs is to sit down and talk about all the issues that they face.

The usual reasons for problems or why people approach  family therapist are on the account of mistrust, sudden death of a family member that shatter the bonding between the family, financial crisis, substance abuse by one of the family members, children suffering in academics, health or mental issues with a family member, divorce and so on.

Seeking help from family counselling works in many ways. It shows different perspective of the problem to each member of the family and work towards each other’s acceptance once again. A family therapist helps by giving some trust building exercises to the family that helps strengthen the bond within. 

This is also a way of improving the communication between the family members and reducing conflicts that currently exist.
