Family Counselling
Restoring love back into the family
Our family is meant to be a safe haven, a place of harmony in which the love and joy can flow freely between its members. Yet conflicts and distressing situations and events can disturb this harmony, often creating pain and separation.
One of the ways we can resolve some of the family conflicts that we experience is through the work of Family Constellations Therapy.
Our experience in using this type of therapy shows that dramatic, traumatic, and tragic events such as the early death of a family member, abortion, suicide, war, criminality, murder, serious illness, divorce, or adoptions that occurred recently, in the past or even several generations ago, can be the underlying source from which certain family members are struggling in their lives today.
Often the source or dynamics of family conflicts are hidden from our view, like the roots of a tree, and we unknowingly "take on" the anxieties, depressions, fears, and even illnesses that belong to our parents, grandparents, siblings, and relatives.
Unlike traditional psychotherapy, this work can reach beyond our beliefs and assumptions about the source of our struggles and conflicts, by illuminating their underlying roots. This work can give us a life-altering understanding of ourselves and of the forces that govern our most cherished relationships.
We will work on finding solutions that help to restore the harmony and flow of love back into the family and between its members. In this way, we see that the love and trust, even when it has been damaged or misdirected, can be transformed into a powerful force for reconciliation and healing.
