What Is Family Counseling
Every family has issues and each family has their
own way of dealing with them. However, sometimes
things reach a point where simple discussions can
get you nowhere, especially if they involve deep
emotional ties between family members, this is
where family counselling can come in handy. This
is nothing but therapy for the whole family where
a therapist or trained counselor sits down and
has a conversation with the entire family.

How Can A Family Therapist Help?

• A family therapist will help bring an objective
  and trained viewpoint into familial conflicts.
• A therapist would be invaluable in situations
  where family members cannot or do not communicate
  with each other well.
• They also help families suffering from collective
  grief after the loss of a loved one.
• Very often, families of patients in alcohol or
  drug rehabilitation also opt for family therapy
  so as to better learn how to to deal with their
  family member.

What To Expect From Therapy?

• Family counselling only works if you are prepared
  to talk about your issues and respond to the
  problems other family members may have with you.
• Go in with an open mind and a willingness to
  improve. You will get results only if you are
  committed to the process.
• It will begin with the therapist encouraging you
  to talk about your problems and have a dialogue
  about it with your family members.
• The therapist will then analyse your interactions
  and thereby suggest changes.

Selecting The Right Therapist

• Its always a good idea to do a bit of background
  research on your therapist before starting your
  sessions. Figure out their education
  qualifications and try and find out what kind of
  work they do.
• Even among therapists, you have some people who
  specialise in certain areas. For example if you
  are looking for therapist for teens in Mumbai, it
  is recommended you consult only those therapists
  who are well reputed in the field of working with
  students and young adults.

Benefitting From Therapy
Many people live under the misconception that
therapy involves waving a stick and making issues
disappear. While your therapist may help you and
your family members develop a better
relationship, the key to maintaining this is up
to you. Nobody should be in therapy all their
life and a good therapist will aim at empowering
you.
