How do I refer my adult loved one (spouse, sibling, parent) to therapy?
There are often times when you notice a loved one experiencing pain or lack of control in an area of their life, but they aren’t ready to accept it. Whether they are struggling with trauma, anger, addiction or something else, guiding them toward therapy can be a difficult conversation, but a worthwhile one.
Approach your loved one with compassion and listen to their concerns about therapy. For additional assistance with your conversation, feel free to print out this brochure.
