why seek therapy ?
I have heard many times from women , I came from "una buena familia" , as they think they do not have cause to seek therapeutic support . Yet the fun fact is that you don’t go to therapy for your family… but somehow, they always seem to make that guest appearance, even the “good ones”.
Therapy is a place to be listened to, where we are noticing the patterns , not necessarily blaming or taking sides. Our culture is beautifully intertwined with loyalty, sacrifice, unspoken expectations like “don’t question the elders,” and a whole lot of emotional responsibility at a young tender age for many of us . The notion of loving something yet being hurt by it is a tension that we explore in therapy . My question is what if we did exactly that, explore the family values without condemnation , without guilt, pero with respeto and the beauty of perspective?
