Play together to stay together
Live MintIn the last three to five years, family resilience gained significance in therapy sessions. Froma Walsh, an American clinical psychologist and the foremost authority on the topic, defines family resilience as “the ability of the family, as a functional system, to withstand and rebound from adversity”. On a day-to-day basis, we face unique situations that challenge our family resilience, such as arguments around discipline with children or conflict between couples in relation to household chores and invisible work. While all families deal with adversity and challenges it is crucial to observe how family members show up for one another and how they choose to collectively work towards dealing with demanding situations. Often when I conduct training sessions or work with families, I focus on qualities that can be cultivated to strengthen family resilience.
