Samtalerommet

Samtalerommet is a privately owned couples and family therapy practice in Hamar

Family therapy focuses on the context in which we live, the relationships in which we are involved, and the impact they have on our everyday lives. Our context may include parents, siblings, extended family, spouse, partner, ex-spouse, ex-partner, children, friends and colleagues.

When a person experiences difficulties in life, one or more of these relationships may be affected. At times, the loss of one of these relationships, or difficulty in the relationship, is the problem itself. In a family therapy session, relational aspects are explored together with the therapist.

Some issues that a family therapist can help you with include:

Strengthening communication by changing negative communication patterns in a couple´s relationship or in family relationships
Understanding and repairing past wounds in a couple´s relationship or in family relationships
Enhancing strengths as a couple or as a family
Improving intimacy in a couple’s relationship
Dealing with the effects of affairs
Deciding the future of a couple’s relationship (Discernment Counseling). Should we break up or try couples therapy?
Coping with grief or loss
Dealing with existential questions

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate.
Give in to it.
There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be.
We are not wise, and not very often kind.
And much can never be redeemed.
Still, life has some possibility left.
Perhaps this is its way of fighting back,
that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world.
It could be anything,
but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins.
Anyway, that’s often the case.
Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty.
Joy is not made to be a crumb.

In Samtalerommet you can feel free to speak about what you need to speak about and keep to yourself that which you may want to keep to yourself.
Together we can search for new paths, ones that can lead to new horizons.
