Exploring Family Therapy with Amy Urry

Joanna North Season 3 Episode 7

Welcome to the 7th episode of Mind Kind's third season! Join host Jo North as she speaks with Amy Urry, a psychotherapist specialising in Family Therapy. Together, they delve into the reasons why families seek or are referred for therapy, exploring how sessions can uncover unhelpful patterns and foster positive change within family dynamics. They differentiate between individual and family therapy, highlighting the crucial focus on inter-family relationships. The conversation also touches upon important topics like discrimination and gender stereotyping, and how family therapy can address conditions such as OCD and 'personality disorders,' while acknowledging the limitations of these labels. Amy shares her insights on Attachment Theory and the importance of therapists creating a secure environment. Finally, Jo and Amy discuss the lasting impacts of Covid-19 on families and individuals.
