Sometimes families don't get help because they need help NOW.
What I mean is, even though there are ways to heal and uncover issues, to make headway on long-standing family issues and strife, they think it will take so long to start seeing results, so they don't start.
I am proud of my ability to cut the shit and get all the people in the family to really get each other and to listen and understand.
I help take the fire and emotions out of the picture long enough to be rational and start negotiating a plan, making agreements for how everyone can move forward.
I am an expert at creating a safe space for all the family members to be heard.
Then, when the winds have died down, people can earnestly approach healing in traditional therapy. It's hard to do that when the chaos is piling up and people keep wounding each other.
