How to deal with family issues?
Developing healthy and effective interpersonal skills is the aim when dealing with family conflict issues. These include communication, setting boundaries, and teamwork. Working with a qualified psychologist with all affected family members present helps get to the crux of the issues.
The psychologist can serve as a mediator offering an objective view to find a solution that suits all parties. Together, you can develop strategies to implement the solution(s) consistently.
What are the signs of a toxic family dynamic?
A healthy family environment is when all members feel supported, safe, able to be themselves, and most of all, loved by the other family members.
When a family environment becomes toxic, the family members may feel anxious, unwelcome to be themselves, drained, or unable to relax due to feeling unsafe.
The lack of safety is a dynamic that can include constant criticism, favouritism, conflict that continues as it is unresolved, manipulation or control, feeling unsupported, excessive blame or guilt, and emotional neglect.
How do you know if you are the problem in a relationship?
If you notice there is conflict in your relationship that is repeatedly centred around your behaviour, and you have difficulty listening to it, difficulty compromising for a solution, or become defensive or avoidant, you may be contributing to the problem with the relationship.
Relationships require communication, compromise and commitment for them to be enjoyable for both parties and successful.
Working with a psychologist will help with honest self-reflection and feedback. This can be done with your partner present in a couples counselling session to learn effective strategies together, or you may seek individual counselling to be able to overcome what is keeping you from being able to have a healthy, conflict-free relationship.
