Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy (CBFT) is a type of therapy that can help families address a variety of issues. One common issue that CBFT can help with is disagreements between parents about parenting styles. For example, one parent may believe in strict rules and consequences, while the other parent may believe in giving children more freedom and autonomy. CBFT can help parents work together to develop a parenting style that is consistent and effective.

​

CBFT can also help families learn how to manage conflict in healthy ways. Conflict is a normal part of any relationship, but it can be challenging to navigate. CBFT teaches problem-solving skills and helps families develop strategies for resolving conflicts in ways that are constructive and respectful.

​

Finally, CBFT can help families improve their communication skills. Effective communication is essential for healthy relationships, and CBFT can provide tools and techniques for improving communication within the family. This can include learning how to listen actively, express feelings and needs clearly, and work through disagreements in a productive way.

 

Overall, CBFT can be a useful approach for families who want to work through challenges and build stronger, more supportive relationships.
