Relationship issues with parents, children, family…

Just because they are family, doesn’t mean they don’t require boundaries, communication skills, and conflict management - if anything, family requires even more intention and skills to have a healthy relationship. Especially if we were raised in an unhealthy environment and come from a family pattern/generation of dysfunction. We CAN stop that cycle. We can learn what it looks like to have a healthy relationship with our parents as adults, set boundaries, communicate our needs, and not be bullied. We can also learn how to have a healthy relationship with our children, let them be their own individual while providing the right amount of healthy instruction, rules, and guidance throughout each stage of their life. IT IS POSSIBLE TO CHALLENGE GENERATIONAL DYSFUNCTION AND PAST FAMILY ABUSE/TRAUMA.

How therapy can help:

A number of reasons influence our ability to have healthy relationships. Past trauma and abuse; never being taught or have learned the tools to set boundaries, communicate, or manage conflict; fear of vulnerability and being known; fear of past “failures” and disbelief healthy is possible; not knowing what “healthy” looks like; unhealthy defense mechanisms to protect yourself from being hurt; insecurity or low self-esteem; faulty belief systems… and so many more.

Therapy helps to unpack these underlying issues that impact our daily relationships and ability to engage in healthy and meaningful ones. Therapy allows us to process past hurts, challenge unhealthy thinking patterns, learn healthy boundaries and communication skills, grieve past relationships/hurts/losses, and helps you to learn what you want. Therapy can be a valuable tool to help you process the past, learn for the present, and gain confidence in yourself and others.
