Family Therapy
It can be wonderful to have an objective point of view. The therapist cares about each family member’s individual health and works to be objective. They can help translate harsh words so their underlying meaning can be understood. An observation from outside the family system can be made openly without fear of familial retribution. Family members can more easily hear the message without emotional interference. The family therapist will look to help each family member understand their part in the family struggle. The therapist wants each family member to understand how they are contributing to the problem and get out of their own way.
