An Insight into Family Therapy Sessions
Family therapy is a small-group therapy where a therapist meets with the family unit (however this is defined) together. Therapy helps family members communicate and understand each other better in a safe, controlled space, guided by an experienced and compassionate therapist. It works by supporting individual members of the family to communicate clearly with each other in a space where they feel comfortable and able to express themselves. Really, family counselling is all about communication, and how to best facilitate it.
Family therapists will often use a number of techniques, including:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Psychoeducation
- Structural-strategic therapy, where participants identify problems and develop practical solutions together
A therapist may decide that it will be useful to meet with family members individually, as well as in a group. There’s really no one-size-fits-all model of family therapy, and it’s all up to what the therapist believes will be most useful.
