It is useful for codependency, attachment difficulties, and repeated conflict.Another approach emphasizes managing mood and anxiety through skill-building such as breathing, grounding, and behavioral changes. This kind of work helps with depression, stress, and anxiety by giving clear steps to use when feelings become overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. They adjust the plan as progress is made and new issues come up.
