Dr. Dan Siegel helps us appreciate the amazing changes taking place in the adolescent brain and how they transform into thriving adults. Experiences such as testing limits and exploring the unknown builds courage and purpose. Read more about the important ESSENCE of teenage brain development and consider how you can support your teen as they grow and change.

Emotional Spark: The adolescent brain experiences a surge of dopamine, which enhances vitality and reward-seeking. This can lead to moodiness or reactivity but also gives rise to a greater sense of aliveness.

Social Engagement: The brain's social circuits are highly active during this period, motivating teens to forge strong bonds with peers and find new social connections outside the family.

Novelty-Seeking: This is the drive to explore new and unfamiliar experiences. While it can sometimes lead to dangerous risk-taking, this drive is necessary to push adolescents out of the familiar "home nest" toward independence.

Creative Exploration: This refers to the teen's ability to challenge the status quo and think in new ways. It is a time for identity exploration and envisioning the world as it could be, rather than just how it is.

Is your relationship with your adult child strained or estranged? Feeling disconnected from your child is a profoundly painful experience, and more and more families are seeking help to repair ruptures that lead to disconnection. The circumstances are usually complex, but it is helpful for parents to understand their role as a life-long caregiver in the relationship. No matter your child’s age, they need you to be the one to offer care and understanding, and a part of that is having the courage to make amends and take responsibility for your impact on your child. Individual and family therapy focused on understanding the attachment wounds and needs can be a helpful step towards repair or grieving the loss of the relationship. Don’t suffer alone and allow shame to fester. There is a compassionate step forward for you — no matter what you and your family have been through.

Parenting is tough job! The challenges we face supporting our children through their growth often puts us in touch with our own needs to grow. This season of life is such a great opportunity to do the work to become more aware of ourselves, and find new ways to offer ourselves compassion as we recognize patterns we want to change or identify wounds we want to heal. When you do this work, you expand your capacity to be a steady guide for your child as they form their own identity. It’s a beautiful thing!

Knowing your values means you understand what is most meaningful to you. When you face setbacks, mess up, or feel the painful sting of comparison or the tension between where you are and where you want to be — leaning into your values can give you dignity and direction to ride the wave. When you clarify your values, you have alternatives about where to spend energy in life instead of getting stuck in the trap of resentment, comparison, self-doubt, or despair. When you work with a therapist to integrate values work using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, you can develop strength and purpose to overcome so many challenges, even the ones with big factors outside of your control!

Do you know how quicksand works? The more you struggle in it, the faster you sink. When you try to fight, suppress, or resist difficult thoughts and emotions — like anxiety, negative self-talk, uncomfortable sensations — you often get more tangled in them. The ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) approach teaches us that instead of struggling against the “quicksand” of difficult emotions or unpleasant outcomes; the most effective thing to do is to lie down, spread your weight, and relax. In the context of emotions, this means making room for them, not pushing them away, and allowing them to be present without fighting. When you practice acceptance in this way, you become less stuck and more able to continue living a valued life, rather than being controlled by the difficult feelings. It might seem counterintuitive, but struggling against internal difficulties is often the very thing that prolongs suffering. Therapy can help you shift towards accepting these experiences to reduce their power and move forward in a meaningful way.

You may feel the effects of burnout in a variety of ways. Emotionally, you may feel irritable, inadequate, numb, resentful or cynical. You may be jumpy and hyperalert — or maybe forgetful, exhausted, and worn down by strained relationships. At work, you may find that you are more overwhelmed by others’ needs or struggling with boundaries between work and home. Maybe you feel the burden of viewing yourself as indispensable to the job; or feel less commitment to the work, due to the exhausted state you’re in. To make matters worse, you probably feel the effects of burnout in your body: headaches, tension, elevated blood pressure, exhaustion, and difficulty with sleep. We can help you make sense of how you got here, and what you can do to address the key areas of mind, body, relationships, and necessary resources for recovery. Your stress may come from the demands of the job, providing care to loved ones, or a variety of factors. Your therapist can help you prioritize your needs and resource you to be successful so you can live with purpose and well-being.

Self-compassion looks like treating yourself the way you would treat a friend who is having a hard time — even if they made a mistake or weren’t successful. You’re not alone if you tend to treat others better than you treat yourself. You can learn to cultivate a more compassionate stance toward yourself, which actually helps develop resilience and a greater capacity to successfully face challenges and weaknesses.

It is very important that people with suicidal thoughts receive active support. One of the best ways to reduce suicidal thoughts is to increase feelings of belongingness. In addition, feeling less like a burden and more like an effective person can reduce suicidal thinking. When a person is feeling depressed and hopeless, they need the help of others to reduce these negative thoughts that lead to thoughts of death.

Many of us spend a lot of time and energy avoiding conflict in relationship. Maybe you try to smooth over a tense interaction, get some distance so time can create a reset, or maybe you try to talk the other person out of feeling the way they do or explain how they’re looking at it wrong. Relationship ruptures are inevitable and they’re not an indicator of a “bad relationship”. The real problems happen when those ruptures aren’t acknowledged and repaired. Without this process, trust can’t be built and the relationship can’t become a secure and steady source of comfort. When ruptures are acknowledged and repaired, we experience that we matter to the other person, that they’ll be there for us on the other side of difficulty, and we develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other. Try leaning in during or after a moment of mismatch or conflict. Over time, your relationship can become stronger and more secure!

Most people have a go-to response when they get triggered. We often get stuck reacting in ways that harm our relationships and block us from getting our needs met. Pay attention to your patterns when you’re overwhelmed or in the midst of conflict. You can use that awareness to help you explore new, more helpful responses.
