Family Counseling Services in Ashville, OH.

Family systems therapy draws on systems thinking in its view of the family as an emotional unit. When systems thinking—which evaluates the parts of a system in relation to the whole—is applied to families, it suggests behavior is both often informed by and inseparable from the functioning of one’s family of origin. Families experiencing conflict within the unit and seeking professional assistance to address it may find family systems therapy a helpful approach.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.

Family therapy, or family counseling, is a form of psychotherapy that entails working with family members or domestic members to address and resolve conflicts, enhance communication, and strengthen relationships. Family therapy focuses primarily on the dynamics and interactions within the family system, as opposed to the individual members. Family therapy is only effective if all family members are willing to participate and collaborate toward positive change actively. Family therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues, such as communication issues, conflicts, behavioral difficulties, and adjusting to life transitions.
