What is family therapy?
Also known as family counseling or systemic therapy, it is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to help families navigate and overcome various challenges, conflicts, and emotional issues that affect their relationships. This approach focuses on identifying and addressing the dynamics within a family system to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen the bonds between family members.
Key Aspects of Family Therapy:
Systemic Approach: Family therapists view the family as a system with its own unique patterns of communication and behavior. By examining these dynamics, therapists help families understand how problems develop and how they can be resolved.

Conflict Resolution: Family therapy equips families with tools to address and resolve conflicts constructively, reducing the intensity and frequency of disagreements.
Identifying Family Roles: Therapists help family members recognize their roles within the family system, which can lead to a better understanding of their interactions and responsibilities.
