Blended Families

Blended families and family therapy have unique challenges. Their emotional complexities of children, parents and family can state the need for family therapy and blended family therapy. Children on both sides of the marriage are forced to work hard to adapt to the new authority figure, something that often creates tension. It is in these types of situations that our therapists with expertise in blended families can help.

Is Blended Family Therapy Right For Your Family?

Sometimes, a remark may trigger an unknown sensitivity. Or situations may arise where certain children are being favoured above others. Parents may have difficulty reconciling their parenting styles, creating an inconsistent environment for the children. Conversely, children may be used to parenting styles present in their previous environment. Often, children have to find ways of adjusting to one another. The imposition of one or more new children into their lives may come as a shock to them. This can lead to power struggles and other difficulties.

If you are a member of a new blended family, you may be finding this integration process challenging. You may have difficulty adjusting to new, complex situations and finding your place in the family. Capital Choice Counselling is here to help make the transition a smooth process for all family members, contact us today.

I have attended, with great interest, many Relationships Matter Seminars at St Paul University. The topics are beneficial to everyone who want a better understanding of oneself and relationships. I always come out at the end of the evening with better knowledge and good feelings. Many thanks to the speakers — great presentations!

The seminar I attended was very interesting. The host is very good speaker, he knows what he is talking about and definitely has knowledges to share. I like that it is accessible and entertaining: my boyfriend enjoyed it too, and I believed that it’s partially because of the fact it was funny and instructive.

Relationship Matters offer great speakers on a variety of related topics from online dating to being in long term intimate relationships. They are thought provoking and accessible to the lay person and for anyone with a desire to broaden their perspectives on and possibly improve the quality of their relationships. I am really happy to have discovered this series put on by Martin Rovers, an expert in the field.
