Family Therapy Saves Relationships
Family therapy is one of the best options available when a couple goes from a romantic twosome to busy team leaders raising children. The past decades have seen a massive change in the dynamic of women’s roles and, more often than not, the women having children are busy career professionals that lead already personally demanding lives and work schedules. Adding children into that mix can be overwhelming even to a woman who is more than comfortable leading discussion in a boardroom. After all, your own children are far less attentive than board members and have no trouble saying ‘No.’
When Jade had twins, her entire life had changed in ways that she thought she had been prepared for. While she had been a workaholic and a “weekend warrior” taking time for the gym and personal hobbies too, she became a busy mom with no time for her own demanding business, never mind personal endeavors. Her husband Rich began to work more in order to bring more money into the financial picture, and so that left Jade with even less help on the home front. When one of the twins presented with some attachment problems to Rich, they felt it best that they all enter into family therapy.
The counselor realized that this couple was under an enormous amount of stress which was only being exacerbated by the attachment issues resulting in Rich‘s absence from the home. He went on to suggest a stress management program for both individuals and organizing quality one-on-one time with each of the twins in order to better reintegrate Rich into their daily lives. While it wasn’t easy rearranging an already tight schedule, the couple was willing to make some adaptations for the sake of their marriage and their children.
Family therapy helped this couple with their marriage and their children.
