Hindrances To Family Therapy Manhattan

By Sharon Kennedy


The purpose of family therapy Manhattan is to assist families to face their problems and deal with them. By the time the family considers therapy as a solution, the problems usually have escalated. The family could be dealing with trauma, grief, divorce, mental and financial difficulty. These issues can cause tension in the family and lead to dysfunction. Family therapy is a useful way of strengthening and uniting the family to cope with their issue.

The success of family therapy can be hindered by several factors. It is important that the family consider therapy as the only way to fix their issue. Once united, the therapy has a high chance of being successful as the family will be receptive to the suggestions offered by the therapist. It can then change their behavior allowing the family to fix their issue.

The timing and need for the therapy should also be perfect. Sometimes the grief or distress can be too much or taken place too soon for the therapy to work. When intense, it may not be beneficial to start the therapy. The individual members of the family need to be in a position where they are ready for therapy for it to beneficial to the whole family. Too many emotions can hinder the healing process.

The relationship between the members may also be an obstacle to the success of the process. Some may have a lot of anger, jealousy or animosity that gets in the way of the therapy. It would be best at this point for the members to have personal therapy first before they can unite and have therapy as a group.

The therapy sessions also need to be purposeful with a set target to be achieved. Failure of the therapist to set targets or a clear sense of direction during each session can lead to a waste of time. The family may end up arguing or fighting. Instead of working out through the issue that brought up the need for therapy, it may escalate to other issues.

Ground rules and boundaries also need to be set for the family to stick to. The topic needs to remain relevant in every conversation. This guides the family on how to behave and interact with each other during the session. The rules and boundaries help the session to be successful and trouble is avoided. A competent therapist knows this and sets the rules for the family to follow during the therapy.

Some people have misconceptions about therapy and its purpose that tend to hinder the success of the therapy. For example, some think once you start the therapy, it has no end. Others think of it as a way of embarrassing and attacking each other during the sessions. This is not true and these thoughts can hinder the healing process.

For family therapy Manhattan to be successful, you need to identify a therapist that will fit in with your family issue. He or she should be able to handle your family's tension with courage and confidence. Therapists are usually different and have different approaches. Make sure the therapist you choose also uses an approach that will help your family heal.
