Is There A Lack Of Connection In Your Family?<\/span><\/h3>

\"\"

Over time, resentment and bitterness always make relationships more toxic. Conflicts in the family can affect your productivity at work, your performance in school, and your ability to take care of daily routines. Family stress can lead to depression, anxiety, and even panic attacks. You might find yourself unable to focus, because you\u2019re constantly replaying old arguments in your head. Or maybe you or your partner withdraw from conflict altogether, only to find it creates more tension and distance. <\/span><\/p>

If you and your family are struggling to find peace with each other, SM Psychotherapy & Counseling can help you ease tension, reconcile differences, and renew the unbreakable bonds that make the love of a family so special.<\/span><\/p>

Humility Is The First Step To Healing Any Relationship<\/span><\/h3>

\"\"

Ultimately, most of us struggle to resolve tension in the family on our own. We tend to assume we\u2019re always right. We don\u2019t like letting go of our pride, and we don\u2019t like admitting we\u2019re part of the conflict. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s often hard to understand exactly how<\/i> our actions contribute to conflict. It\u2019s easy for us to point out what\u2019s wrong with others\u2019 behaviors, but it\u2019s harder for us to do the same for ourselves. Only by acknowledging our role in a disagreement, however, can we help to solve it. Humility is the first step to healing any relationship; it\u2019s a matter of coming before others in a state of openness, vulnerability, and love. <\/span><\/p>

Here at SMPsychotherapy & Counseling, we recognize cultivating love and humility isn\u2019t always easy. However, with the help of an unbiased third party, we\u2019re confident you and your family can identify negative behaviors, solve communication issues, and learn to love each other despite your differences. <\/span><\/p>

Therapy Can Help You Find Peace, Healing, And Acceptance In Your Family<\/span><\/h3>

\"\"

In our first session, we will sit down with you and your loved ones and co-create a treatment plan. The plan will address each individual\u2019s needs and seek to unify them into a whole. This way, the goals your family sets won\u2019t be at odds with each other, and you can all work as a unit. We will update the plan every 90 days (or even sooner if you desire). How many members participate in therapy is entirely dependent on your needs; we may have the whole family involved, or we may pursue father-son counseling, mother-daughter counseling, or any combination that speaks to your needs. <\/span><\/p>

In our sessions, you can expect to learn deep listening skills, conflict resolution strategies, and tips for healthier communication. If you and a loved one keep having the same argument over and over, for instance, we\u2019ll focus not on the argument itself but on how <\/i>the argument affects<\/i> both of you. By understanding how the other person feels, you can gain greater empathy, become a better listener, and come to love them in a new way. During conflict, we tend to shout, talk over each other, and do anything but say how we\u2019re feeling. In family therapy, we\u2019ll focus on dissolving tension by getting each of you to focus on how you feel, how those feelings escalate tension, and how they affect your relationships. <\/span><\/p>

Whatever challenges your family is facing, rest assured: anything is possible if you love each other. No matter how deeply entrenched old disagreements feel, there is always room for healing if you\u2019re willing to do the work. Family life may be messy, but if you\u2019re open to sorting through the confusion, you can heal toxic relationships, bring peace to your home, and renew the affection you have for one another.<\/span><\/p>

You may have some questions about family counseling\u2026<\/span><\/h3>
How long will my family and I be in therapy?<\/i><\/span><\/h5>

\"\"

How will my family do telehealth all together?<\/i><\/span><\/h5>

At the moment, because of COVID-19, all of our family counseling sessions are being conducted online. Thankfully, the process is extremely straightforward: before each session, we\u2019ll send you and your family a link to a video conference, and you can all connect from whatever device you\u2019re using. The platform we use is 100 percent HIPAA-compliant, ensuring complete privacy and confidentiality on our end.<\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m worried therapy will cost too much time or money.<\/i><\/span><\/h5>

Yes, family therapy is an investment, but it\u2019s one that can save relationships. It costs time and money, but resolving conflict now ensures you\u2019re protecting your relationships\u2014and everyone involved\u2014for years down the road. In order to find healing, acceptance, and a renewed sense of peace in the home, sometimes we all need to sacrifice a little time and money. <\/span><\/p>

You Can Reconcile Differences With Your Loved Ones<\/span><\/h3>

If your family\u2019s struggling to see eye to eye and you\u2019re interested in working with a therapist, we would be honored to help. You can schedule an appointment by calling us at 203.800.9778<\/a>\u00a0or sending us an email here<\/a>. We look forward to hearing from you!<\/span><\/p>

Due to COVID-19, all our family therapy sessions are online right now. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
