Family Conflict

Family, while a source of comfort and belonging, also brings in its particular set of complexities. Friction between family members is not an uncommon occurrence, but when these conflicts aggravate to the extent that they begin to damage the health and quality of family life, seeking out a mental health professional can help.

What are its indicators?

While frequent arguments and disputes are signs in themselves that your family may be hurting, there are certain more subtle pointers that could be saying much more than you think. Below are some indications that can assist you in determining whether your family conflict requires intervention:

  • There is an unspoken heaviness in every family interaction, having a cause behind it.

  • Your family has undergone a trauma that has deeply affected all members.

  • Silences seem to stretch on more often than not whenever family members are in one room.

  • One or more members of the family are struggling with a mental illness.

  • There is an abundance of anger that manifests in the form of abuse, raised voices, and violence.

How can we help?

Family conflicts are especially hard to navigate because there are multiple family members involved who all have a difference in feelings and opinions. Calling upon a mental health professional is a safe and controlled way to address unchecked family discrepancies or hurtful dynamics.
