How Can Family Counselling Help?
Families are complex systems of relationships between parents, children, siblings, and extended family members. The delicate equilibrium of a family system is easily disturbed by changes or stressors such as a new baby, illness, loss of a job, problems in school, infidelity, aging, relocation, and death. Each family member’s experience can influence the family dynamic.
In family therapy, you can learn to recognize your role and significance in the family as well as the role and significance of other family members. Family therapy can help you understand how each member is contributing to the problems and what needs to change in order to restore balance and create a new and healthier family system.
