Some family members might display certain communication and/or attitude patterns that make it difficult to cooperate. The counselor will identify these patterns and help the family reach their full potential. Families are encouraged to examine their role in the functioning of the family and make changes. A shift in perspective or behavior can lead to further improvements that will allow the family to function more efficiently over the long term. Family therapy begins with identifying the causes and patterns of the conflict or separation in the family. The next step is to help the family address their concerns more constructively and learn new patterns that will make it more enjoyable. It may include learning new communication skills, how best to manage conflict constructively, making peace with past hurts, and developing tools that will help you build a strong foundation of friendship and intimacy. Family counseling ends with helping families create a plan for future direction, and to manage conflicts and stress.
