What Happens During Huntington Beach Family Therapy

By Betty Murphy


It is inevitable that there are going to times when families are gong have the odd argument or they are going to have a couple of conflicts. This is often healthy because it is never good to continue to be polite to one another. However, when conflict becomes a daily thing one should consider Huntington Beach family therapy.

This type of therapy is not only for families who can't seem to handle conflict or unruly behaviour. It is also for families with one individual who is affected by an illness or a disorder which can affect everyone else. Kids are often emotionally scarred by this when they don't deal with it as a family.

Sometimes they will express themselves verbally and this can sometimes turn into abusive situations. Other times, this can go to the other extreme where the family members will become submissive. They will begin to avoid one another because often this is the best way of dealing with a tricky situation for a lot of people.

However, it doesn't solve anything. In many cases, it can make the person isolated and depressed because they don't know where to turn. They may become anxious because they have problems of their own, but they don't want to share these problems with other family members. It happens a lot with kids and teens.

This happens more and more these days, due to the school situation, peer pressure, and also with technology. Bullying is one thing, but with the advancement of social media, kids are also exposed to ways in which they can be bullied and abused. Parents are not always aware of this. There is only so much a parent can do, but they can be aware of the signs and symptoms.

Depression and anxiety are common during the teenage years. It is important to keep an eye on this. These types of disorders as well as behavioural disorders, such as autism, for example can affect the entire family. Not only will it put pressure on mom and dad, but it will also affect siblings. They will become confused and often jealous because of the attention their brother or sister is getting.

When parents begin to argue or avoid one another it will definitely affect the kids. They will suffer according to their age and the stage at which they have reached. A child will begin to feel guilty, while a teenager will begin to rebel and want to escape from what is happening at home.

Parents may even begin to bicker because of a teenager and their behaviour. This is a difficult time which one goes through. Some teens even turn to drugs and alcohol as a form of comfort. Some teens will develop disorders which have something to do with addictions or they will begin to show signs of personality behaviours and disorders which one needs to watch out for. There are specialized therapists to help with this. However, the whole family needs to pull together and offer their support so that they don't have to battle on their own.
