Family Counselling Services in Wilkie, SK.

Initially each person is seen individually and generally this works for people, although we build the program around the client so if there was an issue with starting with individual sessions this could be altered. However, generally we begin with individual sessions and as time moves on, about three to six months into therapy dyad sessions will start, so any two members of the family can attend therapy together. This may include: the parents; a mom and daughter; a father and son; a sister and brother etc. At this time each person is also attending individual sessions . After dyad sessions, triad sessions begin, so any combination of three people.

Despite the best intentions of ourselves and our family members, we are often tangled in patterns of invalidation, rejection, frustration and blame. It can feel so messy that we operate in a constant state of fear and a crippling sense of unworthiness. In 2008 I started my counselling career as a family therapist. A combination of individual and joint sessions will take place to allow the space for all voices to be respectfully heard, while helping to identify bigger ‘systems’ patterns that keep you stuck in pain and finger-pointing. I will help to smooth out communication, make room for wants and needs and to heal the old wounds holding you back from having a healthier relationship.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently dysregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.
