What Happens in Family Therapy Sessions?
Family therapy begins with assessment and exploration. We discuss and evaluate shared family concerns and goals related to your family’s dynamics. After gaining a better understanding of your collective needs and the perspectives of each family member, we can help you organize a plan that outlines clearly defined goals and the first steps to accomplish them.
During discussions, our therapist serves as a guide and advisor as we explore the various topics of interest. As the sessions unfold, we strive to facilitate open dialogue between all family members, ensuring that everyone has a chance to share their feelings, express their concerns, and contribute to the progression. In addition to guided discussions, our therapist may also provide your family with helpful exercises and strategies to practice. These might include communication exercises, conflict-reduction techniques, and other step-by-step ideas to help your family integrate beneficial lifestyle changes.
As therapy progresses, we provide professional feedback and evaluate current progress in relation to the initial goals. If guided discussions and resolution strategies are helping to reduce conflict or improve relationships at home, we can continue exploring areas of need until we have successfully addressed all of your family’s goals. If family challenges persist, we adjust the plan of care with constructive alternatives until we find tools that better support your family’s needs.
For example, by sharing that you would like to try therapy for the betterment of all, you may be able to reduce any defensive attitudes. Instead of feeling like you are pressuring therapy because you want to fix them, you can discuss how working with a neutral therapist is about improving communication, relationships, and understanding for your family as a team.
You can also encourage family involvement by:
Sharing information about our therapists’ holistic approach
Gradually including them in the family sessions whenever they feel ready
Starting therapy with the rest of the family first; resistant family members may be encouraged to participate after they see how the therapy is helping
