All families have conflict. It's the nature of people living in close proximity. But when normal conflicts turn into daily shouting matches, family members begin hurting each other emotionally (and sometimes physically), and a feeling of anger permeates the household, it's time to do something about itBlended families in which one or both parents bring to the marriage children from previous relationships present their own unique dynamics. Let's face it. It isn't always the Brady Bunch. But there is help. | |

Counseling for children and teens |
Sometimes the conflict is caused by the inappropriate or unacceptable behavior of one more more members of the family. But it affects everyone. While I work with those individuals to try to help them with the cause of their actions, I also work with the entire family so they can provide support for that person and for each other, and to learn how to reduce the conflict. | |

Families can be thought of as a system of interacting parts. We learn how to think, feel and behave from the families in which we grew up. When these beliefs are not challenged and/or changed, we pass on that legacy to our children and their families. |
||
| There are roles we have learned and ways of doing things. Family members may not be aware of the way they are affecting each other or how to have open communication that is both emotionally honest and safe. When we don't feel safe and accepted at an early age, we build defenses to protect ourselves. These may become part of our character or personality that we carry on unconsciously into our adult relationships. In these cases, the entire family may be interacting based on faulty groundwork. | |||
| We try to break that cycle and help you build a happier, more loving family. | |||
| Give me a call and let's talk about ways we can work to end the battles. | |||
