LOLOL (not at you at the so called professional who has his/head screwed on way to tight to allow clear thinking to flow through.

If my family seeing a therapist was the requirement for healing I would be 6 feet under YEARS AND YEARS ago. My family believes therapists are "quacks" and are the ones who need their heads examined for how dare they say the life they put me through was abuse..bla bla bla. No way any of them would ever enter a therapy room.

I would get therapist number 10 and at the first session let that person know you are in therapy for yourself not your family. If at some point in the future your family would like to attend therapy with you, you will be glad to have them along but you don't expect them to participate as a requirement. Just like you being in therapy is your choice they are entitled to make their chioce in this. Once this is said the therapist will gear your therapy based on you and what you need as an indiviual not what the family needs as a unit.

And you can make progress with or without your family just like you can make progress with or without a therapist. All you need it to know is what the problem is that you want to change then locate books, support groups and so on about that problem you want to change. Whether or not you are in therapy YOU are the opne that has to fix those problems anyway right. Having a therapist just gives you someone who isn't right in the situation that can listen and point out things that you may miss from being in the thick of it.

Take care.
