Family Conflict
What it is
Family conflict is ongoing tension or disagreement among relatives, often shaped by long-standing roles and expectations.
Example
For example, visits home may leave you feeling like you must agree with everyone to keep the peace.
A place to start
What we can explore
In individual therapy, we can explore family patterns and the feelings they bring up without requiring other relatives to attend. We can work on boundaries, communication, and choices that fit your values.
- Understand recurring family patterns
- Clarify your needs and limits
