Adult Sibling Therapy

Sibling relationships are unique because they often span a lifetime, making them one of the longest-lasting relationships most people experience. However, unresolved issues, family dynamics, or life changes can create tension that persists into adulthood. Adult sibling therapy is a specialised form of family therapy that focuses on improving relationships between adult siblings. These sessions aim to address conflicts, enhance communication, and foster a deeper understanding of one another.

What Happens During Sessions?

The process may include:

1. Exploration of Past Experiences: Understanding childhood dynamics, family roles, and events that shaped the sibling relationship.

2. Identification of Patterns: Recognising unhealthy patterns of interaction and how they influence current behavior.

3. Skill-Building: Learning techniques to improve communication, handle conflict, and rebuild trust.

4. Collaborative Problem-Solving: Developing strategies to address specific issues, such as caregiving or financial disputes.
