I found a video titled "Dispelling Marriage and Family Therapy myths". There were a lot of different myths stated such as...
- You have to be rich to see a marriage and family therapist
- Therapy never ends
- You can only see a marriage and family therapist if you are married
- Your problems are usually solved after therapy
- Marriage and family tgerapist only deal with extreme situations
Based on the knowledge I have obtained from recent blogs I can dispell most of these myths myself. For example, the myth that you can only see a marriage and family therapist if you are married. Marriage and family therapist work in different kinds of sessions. For example, in individual sessions, where they talk one on one with a certain individual having difficulties in everyday life. They may interact with a family as a whole depending on the family. But they also work with married couples but it is not limited to that option.
Another example is the myth that marriage and family therapist only dealwith extreme situations. The truth is that marriage and family therapist work with situations as simple as family problems. Ranging from teenage rebellion to finacial issues. You do not have to be completley crazy, in which I find very interesting and hope to deal with in the near furure, to see a marriage and family therapist.
