Get your family back on track

You don’t know exactly how it got this bad,
but here you are.

No one is communicating in a healthy way to each other. When they do talk, it immediately devolves into a squabbling fight.

The tension doesn’t subside until after everyone blows up and doors slam.

Or maybe it’s quiet in your home. Too quiet. You can’t get a word out of your kids, who come home and head to their room and shut the door. You can’t get them to DO anything, and you and your spouse disagree on how to handle it.

There are so many things unsaid. An elephant in the room? Try a whole herd!
You’ve tried to get them to talk to each other. You’ve got the books, and you’ve vented to your friends. But you’re secretly terrified about where this is headed if things don’t change.

Maybe you’re noticing:

• Blame. A lot of blame, and it’s focused on one person usually

• Snarky, sarcastic remarks thrown back and forth

• Defensive behavior, comments, and postures

• Misunderstandings, and no room to clear them up

• A lack of laughter, affection, joy, and fun

What if it could shift? Without blame or shame, and with FUN!

There are so many dynamics at play in families!

So many below-conscious patterns that go on, as well as some very real changes in each of our communication styles, mindsets and behaviors that can affect the family as a whole.

Any time the members of a family are willing to come together to begin the process of becoming vulnerable in those ways, things can shift for the better.

I don’t focus on just one person in family coaching.

In a family, even if there’s a single person that seems to be the “problem,” I don’t see it that way.  With the exception of domestic violence or substance abuse, which would need to be addressed first, all family members contribute to the state the family is in when they enter my office, to a greater or lesser degree.

There is no shame in this! I don’t judge, or blame a family for their conflict, fears, worries, patterns or irritations or angers! We all carry a LOT of behind-the-scenes emotional “stuff” and I ensure I create a safe space for you and your family to be open and vulnerable.

Together, we can help your family evolve.

Working this way with your family will take some commitment. There will be some moments it will be challenging. But some times we will be silly, play games, and not be “heavy” at all.

Imagine feeling close and connected to your child again. Think what it will be like to see your spouse and your teen grin at each other, after really seeing each other, and your teen feeling deeply understood for the first time in…forever?
