Family Therapy
At Abhaya Wellness, we understand that families also need a place to heal.The complexities of substance use and mental health disorders do more than wreak havoc on relationships. They have the power to damage and ultimately divide families. When problems surface and intensify, family members are looking for way to “support” but nothing seems to “work”.
One of the most effective ways to mend the relationship between you and your loved one in treatment is through experiencing a personal journey of healing of your own. You want nothing more than to help the one you love, but you must understand that they must become the sole owner and operator of their recovery.
In this approach, mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing, and body scanning are combined with traditional talk therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or other evidence-based treatments, with the goal of helping clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to develop the skills to manage them in a healthier way.
