FAMILY PROBLEMS
Family problems can arise from life transitions, unresolved conflicts, and unclear boundaries. These issues often impact each member’s well-being and function.
Common family dynamics include
• Poor Communication: Lack of active listening and open dialogue • Boundary Challenges: Being too involved or too distant in each other’s lives • Role Confusion: Children taking on adult responsibilities or vice versa • Generational Patterns: Repeating unhealthy behaviors learned in childhood • Resistance to Change: Difficulty adapting to new family structures or roles
Healthy families thrive on understanding and clear boundaries. Together, we can:
1. Explore family patterns using Systemic Family Therapy, seeing issues in context and identifying recurring themes. 2. Teach communication skills—active listening and assertive expression—to foster open, honest dialogue. 3. Work on boundary setting exercises, so each member learns where and how to set healthy limits. 4. Create a genogram (family tree) to map out histories and traumas, bringing clarity to long-standing patterns. 5. Facilitate collaborative problem-solving sessions, guiding everyone toward mutually agreed-upon solutions.
