Real talk – every family has its struggles. Regardless of the perfect pictures and images that are often displayed on social media, life is tough! Kids don’t come with manuals and this world likes to throw lots of curveballs. And let’s clarify families can be blood or chosen people that we decide to do life with.
Most people who start family therapy start because they care about a loved one and are concerned about their wellbeing. Or, there is so much chaos in the family and they just want to feel some level of connection and peace. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you have noticed some turmoil within your own family, or you are constantly concerned about a loved one.
Stuck in your head and constantly worrying about a loved one or stuck in constant chaos from behaviors you may feel exhausted, disconnected, and uncertain how to make it better.

Family therapy or Family-based treatment consists of 45-55 minutes, one-on-one sessions that help you and your family work through your concerns and understand how to best proceed.

In addition to listening, your family therapist will guide you towards solutions, provide education and evidence-based solutions.
Family-based treatment (FBT) is the leading treatment approach used when an adolescent or child has an eating disorder. While FBT may not be a good fit for all families when FBT is used it is found to be highly effective in a short amount of time than other methods.
This model is based not on the notion that the parents/family know the person best and can be integral in a person’s recovery. Family therapy and Family-based treatment are different in this aspect. Family-based treatment sees the parents as part of the solution rather than the problem.
In FBT the family therapist will help the parents or loved ones understand how they can take an active role to help their loved one. They will create a plan to support the loved one with an eating disorder and help them to recover.
FBT has threes phases in which the adolescent gains back more control and decision-making ability as the eating disorder symptoms subside and the adolescent is better able to understand their eating disorder behaviors.
The short answer is YES! Family therapy in Brevard County, FL can be super beneficial when it is used in a way to connect rather than blame people in the family.

The research shows that involving family (whether blood or chosen) in the treatment process provides better outcomes for recovery from mental health and substance misuse issues.
