As a family therapist, I visit with families at many moments in their lives, whether just wanting communication skills or working to repair years of damage. Family therapy can also help when you don’t know what to do when a family member struggles with substance use or how to overcome shared family trauma.

Today’s blog gets into it!

In this blog, we will get familiar with how the pain of divorce, child loss, adoption, and infertility can damage the stitching on the family quilt and how families can seam it back together.

Even when we’re full-grown adults, we can’t seem to escape the effects of our childhood that bring us back to the moment we were 15, small, indignant, and still not feeling heard by the primary decision-makers in our lives. Whether it’s that, or an age-old feud with our siblings, even now, we may notice those same patterns surfacing in the day-to-day interactions with our own children.
