Systemic Therapy
Systemic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the individual within the context of their relationships and social systems, such as families, couples, or groups. Emerging from systems theory in the mid-20th century, it emphasizes how patterns of interaction and communication shape well-being and challenges.
How This Therapy Works
Systemic therapy explores the dynamics, roles, and communication patterns within a group or system. Sessions typically involve multiple members (such as family or partners) and provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for everyone to share their perspectives.
The therapist helps the group identify and understand entrenched patterns, encourages open dialogue, and works collaboratively to develop healthier ways of relating. The approach is non-blaming and strengths-based, focusing on solutions and resources within the system rather than assigning fault to individuals.
Is It Right for Me?
Systemic therapy is suitable for anyone experiencing difficulties that involve relationships-such as family conflict, communication issues, or recurring patterns in couples or groups.
It can help with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship breakdowns. If you’re unsure, a therapist can help you decide if this approach fits your needs, whether you come alone or with others.
