“The most natural place where an individual can meet his needs is his own family”
What is couple/family counseling?
Family is a system of relationships, this system does not only contain emotional data more than the sum of its members. There are bilateral and tripartite relationships/interactions that continue to be dynamic and continuous within the family. There are subsystems between spouses, siblings, and parent-child. This family is also a subsystem of an extended family to which it belongs. After the family union is established, the family goes through various stages. While some families complete these stages, which they call the "life cycle", some families cannot. Individuals pass through various stages throughout their lives and are confronted with various crisis situations, and families, like individuals, go through various stages. Each new stage (marriage, having a child, preschool period, etc.) contains a threat to the family. The process of adapting to changes in the balances is a painful process for the family. In addition, the personal development of one of the family members and acquiring new roles are among the points where the family may have difficulties in the adaptation process.
There is little doubt that all is well in the world when a family is healthy and happy, but not all families are always stable, healthy and happy. The stresses of modern life, the need for better work-life balance, a crisis in the family, health problems for one or more family members, or a threat to the family at any time. It provides space for them to have discussions and find solutions to problems in their relationships. Relationships are an important part of our lives. Close relationships bring many rewards, but they are also difficult. When you are close with another person, it is difficult to meet your partner's needs while also meeting your needs. All relationships face challenges, and how we deal with these challenges is important. How we experience our close personal relationships and how we resolve conflicts as they arise also plays an important role.
Many families have a built-in resilience to many of these problems, but even the best families are beyond the resources they may need help. Couple and family counseling can help you in this process. Deciding whether marriage and family counseling is right/necessary for a family can be a big decision. At first we may see this as a setback or failure, but in reality choosing family counseling can be a big step forward.
