Being a teenager is supposed to be fun, right?
You were excited to be a teenager, you thought it came with more independence, but it brought on more than you can handle.
Living up to high expectations you put on yourself or that you feel from teachers, parents, and plain ole’ society add to the stress you already feel from school.
Going out and feeling ‘normal’ is almost impossible with the anxiety you feel telling you that you “are not good enough” – and the world is not safe.
How can you be as “perfect” as social media makes you feel you should be? Finally, the depression kicks in and tells you that you are unworthy of anything good. No one seems to understand how you feel.
As a parent, you feel you’ve tried everything.
Some days they love you, and some days they hate you!
As a parent, you feel you’ve tried everything. You’ve been a teenager once, so you understand. You start to question whether you are doing the right thing. Social media and technology take over your teenager’s life, and you can’t possibly keep up with everything going on. The things you have tried in the past are no longer working. You’ve tried keeping the door open for discussion, following their accounts, and checking in on school. You. Are. EXHAUSTED!
Let me provide some relief!
The therapeutic space allows for understanding, growth, and compassion while building self-esteem and confidence. Parents and teenagers begin to understand their relationships better and feel hopeful that things don’t always have to be this way.
You and your teenager don’t have to “survive” the teenage years.
