Family Coaching 

Family Healing Sessions

Want to get closer as a family? Need to clear the air of tension and resolve misunderstandings? Facing a crisis and want to work together to cope with it?
A Family Healing Session is an innovative and effective way to quickly ​ jump-start the process of healing fractured relationships and bringing all family members closer. ​The emphasis is on facilitating authentic family communication and greater intimacy and warm feelings by identifying and facing challenging issues, such as long-standing negative feelings, detachment, addictions, and childhood wounding.
In the heart of suffering children is always the same feeling or experience of feeling unloved, overlooked, not belonging. The child feels pain and confusion, and assumes they are at fault. The guilt of not being enough or the shame of doing something wrong creates separation and isolation in the parent-child relationship. 
For healing and rebonding to occur, the child needs to be accepted and embraced as is--wounds, symptoms and all-- and nurtured back into the family circle. 

Identifying disconnection

In a Family Healing Session, the difficult realities of a young person's daily life are recognized. We can help understand the stress of demanding study, hurtful peer relationships, bullying, loneliness, rejection, not fitting in, sexual identity issues, low self-esteem, addictions, and other disorders. To resolve the downward spiraling and its impact on the family, we offer a personal visit to the family home and spend an intensive two days engaging every member in a loving and sacred Family Healing Session. 
​
The purpose of the Family Healing Session is to connect the wounded family member to his or her parents and siblings, receive the love needed, and gain new life skills to create the foundation for genuine and improved behavioral patterns. As the parents and child reattach during this process, the child feels safe and secure and experiences the magnificent and magical realization: "I really do belong!"

​Through the Family Healing Session the parents and children together safely uncover their pent up emotions and wounds. As a result of this process, they experience a wonderful bonding and re-attachment, learn new family life skills for communication and loving support, and totally transform their family lifestyle.

How it is different

I will help create a safe environment in which family members can quickly express hurt or identify unmet needs. This opening up allows the natural bonds of authenticity and intimacy to form. When all family members can relax and feel that they are being seen, heard and understood, they want to share honestly and are able to feel greater acceptance for each other. This results in emotional freedom and growth.
Participants begin to understand the causes that have contributed to the disorder or the detachment in the family. Then a treatment or action plan that is tailored to address the family’s personal needs is created. Exercises, homework assignments and healing activities are suggested to help the family achieve optimum bonding and restore attachment among all its members.
