Families

We all have family, whether they are still alive, and whether we are in connection with each other. Our family live inside of us, as memories, personalities, culture, language and beliefs.

Families are a constellation of relationships usually involving more than one generation. I work with families through Emotionally-focused Family Therapy (EFFT), where we focus on understanding what unmet needs that surface as frustration.

Sometimes it can also be beneficial to take a look at earlier generations, and the emotional history we have inherited hrough our ancestors. When we do this we construct what is called a Genogram. The Genogram can be shared with the extended family, and smoe make it into a celebratory event.

Working with families can also look like Blended families and Co-parenting.
