Therapy for Adult Children of Alcoholics in Greater Boston 02144
ACOA
Therapy can be a place to explore, process, and heal the all too common experience of growing up in a family strained by addiction. Thoughts and behaviors resulting from this situation affect adults long after they leave their childhood home. Discovering that childhood experience shapes current patterns is the first step towards lasting change. The journey towards healing is available to everyone. You are not alone.
How does therapy help adult children of alcoholics?
We are all shaped by our childhoods in ways we understand and ways we are less aware of. Therapy can be a place where we learn to restructure the story we tell ourselves about the way we are and the way the world is. Therapy can be a place where we learn to soothe ourselves and seek appropriate support from others. We can learn and identify the patterns that tend to create difficulties in our relationships. We can become our own advocate. We can find our own voice.
