Family Psychology

“Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.” —Brad Henry

For most of us, our families are our first support systems till we venture out in the world, and even then, we rely a lot on our family’s support. Our parents unconditional love helps build us from the ground up. Our siblings and cousins stand together with us in times of hardship.

But no relationship is perfect, and the same is true for family. There are many times when we don’t get along with siblings, seen overlooked by our parents, or have a difference of opinion with our grandparents. Parents may feel that their children are rebellious, and don’t understand the concerns and worries of the rest of the family. Issues from work bleed into home and relationships begin to fracture.

Tense family dinners, mutual avoidance, and decreased trust and communication can affect everyone in the family. As such, a family should work as a unit to overcome past and present grievances, and our goal at Buddhayan counselling is exactly that.

When To Come In For Family Counselling

Every family is made up of individuals with differing thought processes, views and experiences. These opinions can clash, and create crisis if not handled properly. In large part, this can be due to lack of communication, and if the problems have escalated, they have to be handled the right way.

If the issue can be addressed before it becomes a big problem, it is all the better, and for that it is necessary to acknowledge the need for help. Family counseling can help with that.
