Teenage years are difficult for so many reasons even during normal times, with stormy moods, changing roles, and a quest for independence. Currently, the stress level for teens is higher than ever. Disruptions to their social and academic lives right now is unprecedented. Challenges of social media and technology, as well as academic pressure, elevate stress levels. Adolescents have higher rates of anxiety, depression and suicide, among many other issues, in recent years. Just when they can use the most support, teens often withdraw or pull away from their parents, which can leave teenagers feeling isolated and parents feeling helpless.
It's important for teens to feel involved in their therapy and have a say in their treatment plan. While some may initially resist the idea, many find therapy to be beneficial. If your teen is hesitant, encourage them to try a few sessions. They might be surprised by how positive the experience can be. Often, teens appreciate the opportunity to connect with a therapist and work through their challenges in a safe and supportive environment.
