I come from a disturbed family background. Sometimes I worry I am acting like them. Can I change?
You can expect that therapy can help you understand how your experiences in a trouble family continue to influence your behavior today. Therapy can teach you how to behave more appropriately. The first step is to help you understand which of your actions or behaviors are harmful to yourself or others. Then, you can learn new ways of behaving that are positive and helpful.
My spouse and I do not communicate. Is it possible for us to learn to talk to each other without fighting?
Therapy can help you learn how to listen and negotiate with your partner. You can learn how to listen to your partner in a calm way without defending yourself. You can also learn how to respond in an understanding manner, letting your partner know that you have some idea of what they are feeling, even though you might see the situation differently.
At times I feel stressed out about being a parent. Can I learn to be more patient with my kids?
You can learn how to be a better parent. For example, you can learn how to set and enforce rules without using guilt.
