When one person in a family experiences difficulties, the entire family is affected. We share our lives, love, and often our homes with other family members, so it’s natural that we also share their pain. Unfortunately, what starts out as compassion can end up in dysfunction, especially in families that struggle with boundary setting and clear communication. Instead of one person suffering, the whole family suffers.
Family therapy offers a nurturing yet objective space for families to voice their concerns and learn new ways of dealing with old problems. Even if one member does not wish to participate, the rest of the family can still benefit from family therapy. Family therapy in Dallas can include talk therapy for adults and adolescents, and play therapy for younger children.
