“I’m so glad you are telling me this right now”.

Validation, compassion, kindness in one little phrase.

Parents, even when it doesn't feel like you get an immediate response, keep expressing love and compassion towards your adolescent and teens- it impacts their feelings of connection!

"Regardless of the overall closeness of the parent-teen relationship, the study found that the more parents showed affection, praise and understanding, the more their teens reported feeling loved"

Slow, diaphragmatic breaths can turn off the flight or flight response, and cue our rest/digest response. Picture a seesaw where only one of these systems can be activated at a given time.

Learn more about the basics of breathing for anxiety management here (more videos and strategies posted soon!)

Therapy can be a fantastic resource, but is not necessary for everyone. If you are seeking a therapist, make sure:

1) they have expertise in your areas of concern
2) it feels like a good match / you feel comfortable talking to them
3) the logistics (schedule, location, cost) work for you

If you have to compromise, please do not compromise on the first two! Given long waitslists for many therapists, you may need to have some logistical flexibility.

Stress, anxiety and loneliness can signal a time for reflection and change, and does not necessarily require therapy.
