Each person has their own issues that often play out within the family – and family therapy can help address these issues.
As with all relationship dynamics, certain roles within the family may have become so habitual or ingrained that the surrounding conflicts may be obscured. For example, a domineering father may fail to notice that his way of relating interferes with having close relationships with his children. Similarly, children may have learned manipulative, aggressive, or self-devaluing behaviors in an attempt to fit in with family dynamics.
In family counseling the therapist helps the family – both individually and as a unit – become aware of subtle dynamics that may be the source of persistent tensions and power struggles.
