Meditation Instruction
-
Families, couples, and individuals interact on a daily basis within a system such as the family system, marital system, sibling subsystem, and the larger societal system. Systems family and couple therapy provides a window into those systems and specifically the interpersonal relationships within. By using this approach, the family and couple will explore their family of origin in depth in order to learn about patterns which come from generations of their family that are no longer serving them well in their current relationships. This exploration is used for information and insight only and is not used to blame or point fingers. It is in fact used to provide a better understanding of perhaps the ways that one is projecting their past on their partner or current relationships.
ABOUT
DR. NORMAJEAN CEFARELLI, PHD, LMFT
We all go through transitions in life; no one is exempt. Sometimes we manage to successfully navigate seamlessly through life's circumstances and other times we need more guidance, compassion, and additional tools. This is what makes us all human.
I have set my life purpose to be someone who intentionally provides a space to work through that which your soul is calling to heal. This may appear in the form of sadness, anxiety, anger, attachment, fear of the unknown, or confusion.
“Life is hard…everyone deserves a little grace”
