Family Counseling Services in Brighton, TN.

A great deal of attention is given to understanding how a family has structured, organized itself around a presenting issue or problem and how the family has been functioning. Family systems therapy provides the family with a focus on patterns of communication and behaviors that help them understand how such communication and behavior has perpetuated their issue(s) and reduces the likelihood of placing responsibility or blame on one person or identifying one person as the "patient". With the therapist as a facilitator the family can learn new ways to relate and create innovative approaches to problem solving.

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 deregulated (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.
