You don't recover alone
Guidance for
partner and family
Addiction or trauma never affect one person alone. Partners, parents, children and other loved ones also contribute to the impact.
You may feel powerless.
You may be angry, hurt, or exhausted.
Maybe you're trying to keep it all together.
At Affect2U, we find it important that you also receive support. Not only to better understand the other person, but also to be stronger in the process yourself.
Sustainable repair
Why family counseling is so is important
Without guidance, these patterns often persist, even when the client is in treatment. By actively involving family or partner, we increase the chance of sustainable recovery. In Harbour House, you stay in a warm, family environment with a maximum of 14 residents. You'll get to know the core of recovery: understanding how your addiction works and why quitting didn't work, even with the best intentions.
When someone struggles with addiction or mental health problems, patterns often arise in the family or relationship:
taking over responsibilities
control or rescue behavior
conflicts or distance
feelings of guilt and shame
uncertainty about borders
What keeps family counseling in?
We offer various options.
Family sessions with the client
Under the guidance of an experienced family counselor, we work on:
open communication
restoring trust
clear boundaries
insight into patterns
mutual understanding
Individual guidance without the client
You can also come to us without the client. Sometimes it's important that you first get space for your own story, emotions and questions.
Counseling can be temporary or complete during the client's entire treatment process.
