Healing Through Family Systems Therapy-Mark Ellis

An acting out teen is often just the one pronouncing a family problem that all members of the family are involved with in one way or another said Mark Ellis, Primary therapist for BlueFire Wilderness Therapy in Idaho.  Ellis continued explaining that everybody lives in a family system, and the key to solving the acting out is to understand and help the healing of every member of that family.  Listen to Ellis describe how a wilderness expedition group is like a family and requires the same skills that makes families function successfully.  [Our thanks to Rich Simpson, owner of Pathways Abroad for providing our intro music]
