family sessions

What I have fallen in love with over the years in working with families is participating in the reunification of your family. This is very deep and emotional.

We all have preferences; in almost no other arena is this magnified more than in a family. Primarily because there are multiple preferences. And when the family has become in crisis or become stagnant, our preferences for how things “should” be most often create power struggles. Needing to be right overtakes us, and our willingness to remain in conflict with those we love becomes the norm. And we do not like this. We become lost, confused, worry, take things personally, attempt to control others, and use manipulative practices to get what we want.

This never ever takes away the very thing we’re working so hard to achieve: A more peaceful family. You know what the state of your family is now. And there is so much available for us to change.

We as individuals are complex creatures. When we come together in relationships, we enlarge the experience of complexities. Thus, gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves and the role we’ve been assigned to and agree to play is an important part of healing ourselves first and simultaneously working to help heal the wounds that are present.

This is a long journey. And that doesn’t matter.

What is it like working with me with your family?

There is no real way to answer this question other than to say it will be a challenging experience. Challenging and well worth the effort. Please take some time to read some of the testimonials that other families have left that share their experiences.

If you’d like to have access to connect personally with any of the families that have worked with me, please let me know, and I can get you in touch with them.

That is another aspect of what becomes of you while doing this powerfully important work. You will desire more to help others move from the suffering places that are familiar to you.

Assignments and practices are vital. You will need tools and simple ones to move through this. We will be challenging long-held beliefs about you, what family means to you, and what other family members’ beliefs are as well.

If your family is dealing with addiction or dependence issues, the whole family is sick, and healing is needed. There is much to process, and getting clear of the obstacles of the past and the fear of the obstacles of the future can only be solved in the now. The present moment. The past is done. We can do nothing to change it, no matter how much we want to. The future is something that doesn’t even exist, and no matter how hard we try to control the events of the future, we continue to discover our tactics do not work, at least to create long-standing change.

If you’re here looking for help, then you’ve more than likely been in a process of change via Wilderness Therapy and/or a long-term Residential Therapeutic Treatment Center. You’re in the right place, as I have spent years assisting and guiding families with many different issues.
