Family Coaching and Therapy Q & A

 

When should I consider Family Coaching?

If you are considering family coaching, family therapy or couples counseling, there is probably good reason for it. Relationship conflicts and issues can develop for a variety of unique reasons such as communication problems, difficulty establishing healthy boundaries, resentment, infidelity or other betrayal, parenting problems, major life changes, behavioral issues in children or significant others, or an addiction such as to alcohol, drugs, sex, or video games, among a host of other issues.

When one member of the family or your significant other is experiencing a challenging time in their life, every family member suffers daily anxiety, fears, sadness, or frustration. Your life may adapt to the person’s behaviors and demands, while you stop caring for your own needs.

You may struggle with unresolved emotions about issues that occurred while your loved one abused drugs or alcohol or partook in addictive behaviors like gambling, sex addiction, porn addiction, or electronic addictions such as gaming addiction. You also need to learn about your role during recovery.

Couples Therapy can help partners be better equipped to cope with their loved one’s addictive behaviors or infidelity as well as help them set healthy boundaries and improve intimacy and connection. Family Therapy can help work through deep rooted family conflict or improve the family dynamic as well as parent-child communication and the overall family relationship.

If you struggle to cope with a family member’s behavior or you’re tired of conflict and challenges, it’s time to consider Family Coaching and Family Therapy.

What should I expect from Family Coaching?

Family Coaching and Family Therapy is individualized to meet each family’s or couple’s unique needs. You’ll find ways to care for your emotional and physical well-being while learning how to navigate life with your loved one(s).

Whether you’re interested in family coaching, family therapy, or couples counseling, your specialist will request that you begin with an initial assessment session either one-on-one, with you and your loved one(s) together, or a hybrid session of both. Thereafter your specialist will curate a customized treatment plan for you to meet your needs and goals.

  • Coping strategies for challenges you are facing
  • Stress reduction techniques
  • Self-love and self-care
  • Setting boundaries
  • Working through guilt, shame, anger and embarrassment
  • Detachment
  • Codependency
  • Family roles
  • Providing insight into relationship dynamics and patterns
  • Building a support system

Family Coaching and Family Therapy is an exceptional program offering personalized attention and support for family members going through conflict, crisis or addiction of a loved one. Family Addiction Specialist works with family members on a monthly basis for those interested in making lasting change, gaining meaningful support, or working through deep issues.

Do you provide couples therapy?

Whether you are interested in marriage counseling or couples counseling, couples therapy can help improve communication, discover root causes of conflict, restore intimacy, and promote self-awareness, self-growth, and acceptance. Couples counseling can also help work through painful issues such as infidelity, porn addiction, lying or separation. Family Addiction Specialist provides couples counseling and specializes in family systems theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as discernment counseling. In working with couples, sex therapy can also be beneficial to help work through communication, feelings, and functioning surrounding sexual intimacy. When you first meet with your specialist they will evaluate your presenting concerns, discuss shared goals, and curate a customized treatment plan for you.

What other services are available during Family Coaching and Family Therapy?

Family Addiction Specialist provides supplemental treatments such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnosis, and meditation, among other holistic and spiritual treatment methods. Such treatments can help you cope with daily stress and be better equipped to work through family conflicts.
