> Therapy (with a body focus) ... IFS (I tend to recommend against traditional talk therapy, I find it a poor way to deal with ourselves)
Though in the end they probably won't be helpful for anything more than soft skills, since it's work.
On the subject of family therapy things in general, the broad concepts taught in them are so good, some of them can come up in groups and basic interaction.
- Triangulation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(psychology)#Fam...
- The 8 concepts here: https://thebowencenter.org/theory/eight-concepts/ (triangles are the first one)
Good ones: Murray Bowen, Salvador Minuchin, Virginia Satir
Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLQOWoom2d0 (Bowen), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJEewdFPB7M (Minuchin), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql3mPOcX7kY (Satir)
Good book: Interpersonal Process in Therapy: An Integrative Model
As I say this though, Family therapy is intense stuff that I don't think would make sense out of nowhere. Unless they were open minded and willing to put the legwork in. I've been exposed to it many times over years and didn't really connect with it.
Ever been through family / life / circumstances where you were dependent on a selfish jerk who viewed others as their own pin cushion, with no interest in cooperation? Come out of those a couple of times, then look these concepts/books up. You'll get where they're coming from!
