Family Therapy and Counseling – Counselors and Therapists in Austin
In a picture-perfect world all family life would be stable, and accord in the home would be commonplace. Unfortunately, we don’t live in an unflawed world. The best efforts of families to get along are not always enough. Problems and major upsets can sometimes poison the atmosphere in homes across the state. Kids run into major conflicts with each other or their parents. Sometimes parents get to the stage whereby they can no longer cope with their own children.
A lot of major disharmony in the home builds up over a long period of time. Sometimes the root cause of the turmoil is obvious, other times less so. Feelings of hopelessness and failure can materialize. The longer the conflicts go on for, the more desperate the situation becomes. Family systemic therapy or family counseling is often the best solution. Qualified counselors can offer hope to what are otherwise hopeless situations.
Domestic Threats in Modern Homes
When disruption occurs in the home everyone suffers. Modern challenges can be physical setbacks or conflicts, emotional turmoil or deep psychological unease. Despite the attempts of family members to restore peace, a sustainable resolve is not always forthcoming. It’s times like these where family therapists can prove invaluable.
Here are a few of the most common causes of family turmoil:
- ADD
- Addictions
- Adolescent related matters
- Anger outbursts
- Chronic anxiety
- Food disorders (anorexia and bulimia, etc.)
- Grief/depression
- Marriage breakups
For families who cannot resolve issues among themselves, counseling might be their missing link. Family therapists assist in all kinds of ways, for example they can:
- Help families reestablish meaningful dialog and repair rifts
- Lay the foundation for rebuilding much better relationships
