Family Therapy

Family therapy understands that mental health and addiction problems usually come from deeper issues in the family. By working with each other and looking at what’s really going on, families can help break the cycle of bad behavior and find healthier ways to work together.

This is a way for family members to work together to help each other out and be more understanding and compassionate. It’s a place where everyone has a voice and everyone is heard.

Family therapy helps families get through tough times, build strength, and help them heal in the long run. It does this by using targeted interventions and using evidence-based methods.

If you or someone close to you is dealing with mental health issues or substance use, think about how family therapy can help. We can work together to break the cycle of addiction and heal everyone in the family.

What Is Family Therapy?

Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that looks at the whole family. It’s also called family systems therapy.

Family therapy is different from individual therapy because it involves everyone in the family and looks at the bigger picture of mental health and addiction. It’s not just about one person’s worries – it’s about the whole family.

How Family Therapy Works

If you’re looking for a way to help your family work through their feelings and thoughts, family therapy can be a great option. It’s usually led by a licensed family therapist who creates a space for your family members to talk about their emotions and behaviors in a way that’s safe and without judgment.

At the start of the sessions, the therapist tries to get to know each family member and build trust with them.

Once the therapist gets a good grasp of what’s going on in the family, they’ll lead the family through specific sessions. These sessions can include things like:

  1. Psychoeducation
  2. Communication exercises
  3. Problem-solving techniques
  4. Role-playing
  5. Boundary setting
  6. Genogram creation
  7. Family rituals and traditions

    I’ve been in recovery for over a year now and have met a lot of people along the way. Stuart and Wilbur are genuine about wanting to help someone struggling with alcohol or drugs. Me being one of them. I’ve seen a few sober houses along the way and Calusa recovery is by far the best sober living I’ve come across. They show you how to have fun in recovery and live life sober. The houses they have are awesome and clean! Highly recommend them. It changed my life!

      Calusa Recovery was recommended to us as being a top sober living home. Meeting Stuart, Wilbur, and the impeccable house confirmed this to be true. Stuart and Wilbur are truly invested in all aspects of their clients’ recovery. We value their collaborative approach with clients and family.

        Calusa is a place that treats you like a real person with love and respect. They do outings together to have a great community environment. Calusa pushes you to be a responsible young man but does it in a way of caring and helping you find self love. Highly recommend for any young man wanting to take the next step to better himself and his future.

          The Role Of The Family In Supporting Recovery

          It’s not unusual for family members to have a hard time with family therapy, especially when they feel like they’re being punished or judged for what their loved one is going through. But it’s important to tackle this resistance if you want your therapy to be successful. Here are some tips to help you overcome it:
          1. Psychoeducation: Talking to your family members about the advantages and goals of family therapy can help to reduce worries and misunderstandings.
          2. Empathy and validation: Making sure family members feel heard and accepted can help build confidence and encourage them to be involved.
          3. Exploring individual goals: Figuring out what each family member wants out of therapy can help match their needs to the overall goal of helping their family member get better.
          4. Gradual involvement: Beginning with one-on-one sessions before bringing the whole family into the mix can help reduce resistance and establish a good relationship with the therapist.
          5. Flexibility and adaptation: Accepting that every family is different and changing the treatment plan to fit your family’s needs can help increase engagement and collaboration.

          Overcoming Resistance To Family Therapy

          If you’re looking for a family therapist, it’s important to make sure they’re experienced and qualified. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a therapist:
          1. Credentials and qualifications: If you’re looking for a licensed therapist, make sure they have the right training and background in family therapy.
          2. Approach and techniques: Find out what the therapist’s style is and what methods they use. Make sure they match up with what your family wants and needs.
          3. Compatibility: If you want to get the most out of your therapy, it’s important to build a good relationship and feel comfortable with your therapist. Book an initial appointment to see if you’re right for each other.
          4. Referrals and recommendations: Get advice from people who know what they’re doing when it comes to family therapy, like doctors or support groups.
          5. Cost and availability: Think about how much the therapist charges and how busy they are to make sure they fit into your family’s budget and schedule.
