6 tips for those considering family counseling

1. Understand the purpose of family therapy

Before starting therapy, it is important to understand that family therapy aims to improve communication and resolve conflicts within the family. Through therapy, you will learn to deal with difficulties together as a family unit.

 

2. Choosing the right therapist

Finding a therapist that suits your family’s needs is crucial. Look for someone with experience in family therapy and a background that you feel comfortable with – it is important that all family members feel heard and understood.

 

3. Prepare for open communication

Be prepared that family therapy requires open and honest communication. It can be challenging, but it is necessary to bring about change. Remember that the opinions and feelings of all family members are important.

4. Set realistic goals

Discuss and set common goals with the family therapist. This helps keep the sessions focused on realistic and achievable goals.

 

5. Engage all family members

For family therapy to be effective, it is important that all family members are engaged and actively participate. This may mean compromising at times and working together as a group.

 

6. Have patience and an open mind

Change takes time, and it is important to be patient through the process. Be open to new perspectives and methods suggested by the therapist. Remember that progress is often gradual.

Remember: If you or someone in your family experiences a mental health emergency, do not hesitate to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Family therapy is a step towards better psychological health, but it does not address acute crises when someone’s life is in danger.
