Family Therapy

Healing Together with Family Therapy

Family therapy can be a healing experience for every member of the familial structure, regardless of whether the underlying trauma is a result of these relationships.  When a loved one is struggling with their mental health or addiction, this can have a negative impact on everyone in the family.  This can leave close family members resentful, unable to understand their loved one’s feelings or their reason for doing things.  Family therapy can help to shed light on how best to help a family member that is suffering, while growing and healing together as a unit. 

This type of therapy can also be very useful for addressing past trauma or abuse that may have been shared, or even caused by, other family members.  Dealing with this past trauma in a safe therapy setting can make sure everyone feels able to open up and be heard.  This is often the best way to deal with this level of trauma, involving all of those that have been affected during and afterwards.

Addressing the Effect Mental Health Disorders Can Have on a Family

When a loved one is affected by a mental health disorder this can takes its toll on everyone in the family.  It can often be challenging for family members to understand the struggles of the person that is affected by a mental health disorder, personality disorder, or dual diagnosis disorder.  For the average person, these struggles may be unrelatable.  Family therapy is an effective way to reconnect with your family member that is struggling, learning the most effective ways to show your support while helping the individual to get the assistance that they need in life.

Working together as a family through therapy sessions shows support for someone with a mental health disorder.  Not only will therapy help you to better understand and relate to your loved one, but it will also show them your dedication to helping them through what is often a difficult period in life.  The support of family and loved ones is key to healing and learning to live with a mental health disorder.

Dealing with Lasting Family Trauma Through Group Therapy

There are many things that family members often have in common; abuse and childhood trauma can often be shared throughout the family.  Past abuse and trauma can manifest themselves into your everyday life, making it difficult to move forward.  It is important that this past abuse and trauma be addressed.  One way to do this is with family therapy.  This involves everyone affected by the trauma and abuse, while sometimes even letting the person that is responsible be addressed in a safe setting. 

Family therapy is a great way to grow and understand your family members, while forging a bond that will heal over time with the right help.  Tackling past trauma and abuse through this type of group therapy can be the most effective way to heal as an individual and as a family.  The trained therapists at Campbell Recovery Services are skilled at managing family therapy in an open and safe environment.  By addressing these types of past issues with everyone involved, you can grow and heal as a person.
