Joanne finally picked up the home telephone realising this was the most difficult call she had ever made. She was planning to ask for help in the single area of her life that she'd thought she had held together: her family.
At the last appointment, Jake's psychoanalyst mentioned marriage and family therapy programs but she had felt too indignant (or was it embarrassed?) to call for more info. Of course , this was Jake's problem, wasn't it? How could treatment for everyone do any good when Jake was the one causing arguments, getting in trouble at school, and sneaking out after dark doing who can say what with who knows whom? Family therapy techniques sounded so... Intrusive. The specialist would possibly pick apart her parenting and tell her she had done everything wrong.
So why was she eventually changing her mind? Bizarrely enough it was due to Jake's little sister, Jenny. Yesterday afternoon, Jenny had asked, "Why are you and daddy so irritated by Jake all the time?" In that moment, Joanne realized Jenny had not been impervious to the turmoil surrounding their efforts to help Jake. Somehow she knew that her family could not improve if they stuck to the problem-focused concept that their only hope rested in "fixing" one individual. Whether she liked it or not, this was a family problem.
Family therapy is a core mental well-being profession. It is brief, solution-focused, and it is focused on specific , achievable, healing goals. Joanne's decision to find help for her family was quite serious and choosing the right family specialist was critical. She started with her insurance and researched possible suppliers who could help. After consulting with a trusted family physician, she made the appointment.
When you make a decision to seek help for your family, it is vital to familiarize yourself with the various mental health professions. Remember, it's okay to continue looking if your family is not making progress. Select the pro and the family therapy center you are feeling is the best fit so that you can receive the right help.
