I believe that when families are doing doing well, all of its members benefit. The quality of our relationships, in particularly with our family members, have a strong impact on our development. Reflecting on patterns and letting go of those that are no longer working is of key importance in our work together. This is best done when families feel physically and emotionally safe with each other. Regardless of who is involved in the family work, a change in one member, or some members as in the case with couples, can impact the family status quo.
