If your family has experienced a rough patch recently, we want to immediately convey one crucial message. Every family encounters adversity. Importantly, every family can benefit from family therapy, too.
Why Do Families Need Family Therapy?
Naturally, your reason for seeking therapy for your family will vary from another family’s reasons. At the core of every reason, we might find the element of change. After all, change is often scary, and it can come with extreme adversity.
Change exists within all of these reasons:
- Disagreements with your spouse or significant other
- Serious illness
- Career transitions
- Challenges related to mental health
- Addiction or substance abuse
- Financial troubles
- A death in the family
- Multifaceted conflicts
With each of these issues, your family would benefit from finding a sense of normalcy. Expert, engaged family therapy can help you find that sense.
Who Can Benefit From Family Therapy?
We encourage you to remember that family is a broad concept. You can certainly benefit from family therapy for your core household, but that’s only one definition of family. At American Behavioral Clinics, our therapy supports a broad spectrum of family structures.
No matter your connection, if someone feels like family to you, then they’re family. If your relationship with that person is currently in trouble, family therapy can help you.
Does Family Therapy Work?
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMHSA, offers a detailed brochure about family therapy. “Research suggests that behavioral health treatment that includes family therapy works better than treatment that does not,” reads the brochure.
Further, SAMHSA relays, “Family therapy isn’t always easy. There will be struggles for everyone involved, but the outcome is worth it.”
