Sometimes it’s not current conflicts, but long-past experiences that weigh us down. A difficult relationship with your parents, an old dispute with siblings, unspoken loyalty conflicts. Maybe you feel: I want to move on – yet all this is still part of me. The desire for clarity, reconciliation, or just inner peace grows.
Many people experience tension with their family of origin like this:
- A childhood issue that still lingers – and won’t settle
- A difficult relationship with your father, mother, or both
- Sibling rivalry, jealousy, silence, or competition
- Unexplained guilt toward your parents
- Divorced or estranged parents – and your role caught in between
- Conflicts with in-laws or new family constellations
- Family gatherings that trigger stress instead of joy
- An “old argument” that was never really resolved
- The wish to let go – and fear of a final break
- The longing for an intact family bond that never existed
In systemic therapy, we carefully explore the past – to better understand the present. We examine relationships, patterns, and role models – and ask what you truly need today. This creates space for self-care, new perspectives, and a respectful way of dealing with your own history.
