Virginia Satir's family therapy holds that people with low self-esteem are anxious as well as uncertain about themselves. They get less concerned about the feelings of themselves but concentrate more on what other people think about them. A member of a family may have more noticeable symptoms that require the family therapist to know how to deal with the pain before it results in family imbalance. Children sometimes react to parental influence and adjust to what the parents are ready to offer for them to survive despite the challenges that they face.
