Brief Strategic Family Therapy

It is inside the home where a child starts to develop his qualities — be they good or bad. It is also said that one’s surroundings greatly affect the person’s character, wellbeing, and future. In this case, providing a good environment for your family is always the best way to help them become better individuals. If substance abuse is an issue, we can help.

Though people live in the same group, in the same family, and under the same roof, there will always be issues that will transpire between siblings, and between parents and children. These include:

• Substance abuse
• Children and young adults being delinquent
• Being anti-social
• Drug use at an early age
• Miscommunication between family members
• Problems with disciplining kids
• Parenting difficulties
• Divorce or separation
• Extended and blended families
• School and peer pressure
• Parent’s employment or business status
• Financial constraint
• Stress
• Sexuality-related issues
• Nagging and judgmental parents
• Abuse and violence
• Remarriage
• Lifestyle changes
• Kid’s temperament
• Kid’s defiant behavior
• Children’s attachment to both parents
• Ongoing legal battles

The truth is that there is no family on the face of the planet that doesn’t face challenges. No matter how good you think your family is, there are always drawbacks that rock the relationship. Fortunately, family stresses are normal, and if family members are mature enough to face their problems, these drawbacks can turn into healthy and beneficial factors that strengthen the bond of the family.

And if you think that therapy is only for families experiencing problems, you may be mistaken. It’s for everyone. This is where Brief Strategic Family Therapy Training (BSFTT) comes into the scene.

“A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another, the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another, it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.” – Unknown
