Take the first step towards better mental health

A psychologist is a mental health specialist with a master's or doctorate in psychology. They focus on psychotherapy and use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to help patients overcome emotional and behavioral difficulties. Psychologists do not prescribe medication.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who trained in general medicine before specializing in psychiatry. They can diagnose and treat serious mental disorders over the long term, often using medication. Psychiatrists combine pharmacological treatments and psychotherapies in their care.

These two professionals use different, though sometimes complementary, therapeutic and medical approaches.

Family therapy is often indicated when dysfunction or conflict disrupts daily life at home. Here are some signs that your family could benefit from psychological support:

- Difficult communication : Family members struggle to communicate without conflict, which can lead to persistent misunderstandings.

- Frequent conflict : Arguments are common, and problems never seem to get resolved.

- Isolation : Some family members withdraw from interactions and prefer to be alone. This may signal a deeper malaise.

- Behavioral changes : You notice unusual behaviors, such as aggression or extreme passivity.

- School problems : Children or adolescents are struggling academically or showing a lack of interest in school.

- Stress and anxiety : Family members experience increased stress or anxiety, affecting their daily well-being.

- Traumatic events : The family has experienced a traumatic event, such as bereavement, separation, or serious illness.

- Lack of support : Family members do not feel supported or understood in their struggles.

If you recognize these signs within your family, family therapy can help you improve communication, strengthen bonds, and restore harmony.

I often recommend starting therapy as soon as the first signs of tension appear or when you feel something is wrong in your relationship. It's especially healthy to begin therapy before problems become entrenched or more complex to resolve. Here's why and in what situations couples therapy can be beneficial:

- Prevention : Engaging in preventive couples therapy can help maintain and strengthen your relationship before minor issues escalate into major conflicts.

- Difficult communication : If you find that discussions regularly turn into arguments or that silence prevails, therapy can restore open and constructive dialogue.

- Loss of connection : When you feel a distancing or a decrease in intimacy, therapy can help restore and deepen the emotional connection.

- Stressful life events : Major transitions such as the birth of a child, a career change, or a bereavement can test your relationship. Therapy offers support as you navigate these challenges together.

- Infidelity or broken trust : After a betrayal, therapy can facilitate the process of forgiveness and rebuilding trust.

- Differences over key decisions : Differences over important issues such as finances or life goals can be effectively addressed with the help of a professional.

Starting couples therapy early offers several benefits, including the opportunity to resolve issues before they escalate and to develop communication and conflict resolution skills that will benefit the relationship in the long run. This creates a safe environment where both partners can explore their feelings and work together to strengthen their relationship.
