Life events are generated by unavoidable experiences that bring some degree of struggle, change, or loss, as well as the need for adaptation to those affected. Family therapy by Life Changes Therapy is here to help! The family may be the most natural source of assistance in this situation. Pain and issues related to life events, such as a life-threatening illness or death of a loved one, can be shared with family members who can help with processing and making sense of the event, while providing mutual support and care. This support can eventually help family members to come to terms with the losses and struggles while progressing forward with life.

When a family’s functioning is ideal, their support often leads to an adaptive adjustment process. A well-functioning family is distinguished by open communication of opinions and feelings, familial unity, and constructive disclosure of differences in opinions. These dynamics protect family members against the stress of life events. When a family’s relationship functioning is constrained, they are less able to achieve an optimal result.
