When Should My Family Consider Family Therapy?

Family therapy can help in a variety of situations, including the following:

  • When a family member faces severe health challenges, whether physical or mental
  • When a family member struggles with addiction
  • When the family is healing from trauma, such as an unexpected death or a natural disaster
  • When a major change occurs, such as a move, the loss of a job, or a divorce
  • When the family regularly experiences conflict between parents, parents and children, or siblings

In general, you should consider family therapy any time you feel that your family needs greater unity or help healing. Family therapy also helps families create a supportive home environment for the struggling individual, so it’s beneficial even if only one member of the family is seeking healing.

 

How Can Family Therapy Help My Family?

Family therapy helps families in many ways, including:

  • Helps all family members understand a specific family member’s struggles
  • Provides family members with resources and strategies to help other members of their family and offer them love and support
  • Teaches conflict-management skills to help create a more positive home environment
  • Helps family members process emotions and overcome trauma

These are just a few examples of how family therapy can help families through difficult times. Therapy of any kind provides many benefits, and family therapy is no different.
