Family Counseling
There are no ties that are stronger than those of family. Sometimes families go through a challenge or trauma that requires Family Counseling. Not everyone in the family reacts to a situation the same way. Some may lash out verbally or with aggressive behavior. Other family members may internalize their pain and withdraw from the family. While still others may try to internalize their pain and try to act like everything is normal (in this instance, the pain usually surfaces in irrational and unpredictable ways). However the members a family react to a situation, healing together through Family Counseling can strengthen the bonds of the family and help the entire family heal after a trauma.
Things that may cause some members of the family pain, include divorce, adoption, new siblings, becoming a blended family, addiction, relocation to a new area, new schedules, school, and many other situations. Never dismiss a family member's pain to a new situation just because you are not reacting the same way.
Family Counseling will help every member of your family communicate their experience and heal so that your family can be whole again. At Safe Place Healing, our experienced therapist can encourage your entire family to express their pain and learn how to cope with the situation in a constructive and healing manner.
