안녕하세요. 저는 내담자 중심(Client-centered)의 해결 중심 단기 상담(Solution-focused Brief Therapy)을 전문으로 하는 김이랑 상담사라고 합니다. 해결 중심 단기 상담이란 단순히 그 기간이 짧다기 보다는 내담자와 상담자가 문제 해결에 대해 보다 적극적으로 참여하여 개인적인 발전이라는 목표를 향해 함께 나아간다는 데에 중점을 둡니다. 상담자는 내담자가 안전한 상담 공간에서 자신의 강점을 찾고, 일상 속의 도전들을 헤쳐나갈 수 있도록 돕는 일을 합니다. 상담을 통해 내담자들은 자신에 대해 더 잘 알아가고, 자신을 사랑하는 법에 대해 배우게 되어 직면하는 문제들을 보다 유연하게 헤쳐나갈 수 있게 됩니다. 일상이 버겁고, 스트레스가 쌓여가는 것 같으신가요? 많이 외롭고, 이해받지 못한다고 느끼시나요? 자기 자신의 기대에 부응하지 못한다고 생각하시나요? 당신에게 상담이 작은 도움이 될 수 있기를 바랍니다. 당신은 혼자가 아닙니다. 저는 온라인 상담을 제공합니다.

Why is it just so hard to control my emotions? Have you ever asked this question to yourself? There may be situations that you just can't control, and circumstances may happen that may make your life more turbulent. In the midst of all the chaos, you might ask yourself whether it is all worth it. You may feel hopeless and alone as if it is just you against the world. What if I told you there is a way to work around all that? What if there is a technique that can help you build strength in those situations, instead of hopelessness?

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.
