As a woman tending to multiple roles and responsibilities, it can be easy to lose sight of caring for your own needs. You may feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities, feel anxious, depressed, and even experience physical and spiritual burnout related to issues you are struggling with. You may also be experiencing difficulty maintaining relationships with others including those closest to you- partners, children, and or other family members. Your reality can be hard to deal with because it is very different than the life you envisioned for yourself. Though is difficult to have hope amidst your situation, all hope is not lost.

My clients struggle as you do. Despite being successful, driven, and highly capable, life is hard. When they first come in, they’re often juggling demanding careers, personal responsibilities, and a desire to maintain their high standards. Yet, beneath the surface, they feel the constant pull of anxiety, racing thoughts, sleepless nights, and a persistent worry that they’re not doing enough. For high-achieving couples, the pressures of their demanding lives can strain their relationships. They find themselves arguing over seemingly trivial things, leaving both partners feeling disconnected and misunderstood.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
