Indeed, everyone needs family therapy at some phase of life. It is a form of psychotherapy that seeks to understand and imagine ways to help families function better with more flexibility and healthier communication. After all, a reliable and a trained mentor is required when family relations are strained beyond the capacity to respond. These family therapists have the ability to make their lives happier and healthier.
Besides, individual therapy is equally important as the family therapy. Sometimes, there can certain health problems that need to be addressed in the individual therapy prior to the family therapy. Just have a look at such problems -

Violence

Chronic anger and violence take their toll and become more threatening to the family life. In such a scenario, individual therapy is required to prevent, control and stop such violence.

Mental conditions

Severe mental conditions including bipolar, severe depression and anxiety can be major threats that need to be treated prior to starting the family treatment.

Various addictions

Some addictions such as drug, alcohol or eating disorders need to be identified and treated before the whole family is taken care of.

Individual therapy involves one-on-one basis with a therapist. It enables both the client and the therapist to focus on each other, thus working together to solve the issues. Additionally, the family therapy helps you and your family members to understand one another better and provides the skills to deal with challenging situation in a much effective way. A perfect blend of both helps in achieving a sense of togetherness.
