Couple and Family Therapy
Some of you may be wondering, "Why should I consider involving my family or partner in therapy?" It's a valid question. A client once expressed her initial apprehension, imagining therapy sessions with her family as resembling a dramatic TV show, filled with arguments, plot twists, and emotional roller coasters. However, she later had an insight: "Hearing myself say that out loud makes sense why we can't get along, and why I struggle so much."
The truth is, there are many compelling reasons to explore family and couple therapy. Providing a structured environment for individuals and families to safely share and collaboratively work on improving their relationships can significantly enhance everyone's capacity to lead more fulfilling lives.
