Therapy for Teenagers Orlando
Therapy for Teenagers Orlando and getting them the help they need. What does it mean for teens to seek therapy? Is it a request made by the parents or is it the desire coming from the teenager? I think that it could be a combination of both. It becomes a complex issue when the family or parents want to be involved directly with the therapy. Teenagers need to feel respected, safe, and that information will not be shared to direct family members in order for them to open up.
This level of trust that a teenager has with a therapist is something that the counselor works very hard to maintain. If they do not feel open to communicate clearly how they feel then they will gain nothing from seeing a therapist. There must be a level of desire and commitment from the teenager to want to receive help. Do not force your teen to attend therapy if they are highly resistant. If this is the case it’s better to work with the family members instead of the teen.

It’s important for teens to feel that they can express their feelings. There are very few places in which teens are allowed to do this. We may think that we’ve come a long way in allowing our adolescents to have a voice. So many are still wound very tight. We see teens today so hard on themselves. They place enormous amounts of pressure on themselves. They have become perfectionists living in an imperfect world. We need to help bring these teens back away from the ledge. It is to steep.
