Counseling for Teenage Anxiety: Signs, Advice, and Where to Get Help
Are you worried that your teen’s anxiety just won’t go away? Does it feel as if your child struggles with their mental health and could use help? We provide counseling for teenage anxiety among many other kinds of treatments. It’s important to note that anxiety can be treated. It’s not something a teen just has to “get through,” “live with,” or bear. We can help them to develop the kinds of skills that can empower them to manage their anxiety going forward. There are plenty of basic facts to keep in mind.
Teen Anxiety: What to Know
Everyone feels anxious sometimes. Anxiety is, in so many ways, a natural, normal reaction to adolescence. Your teen is going through new experiences, with new opportunities, expectations, challenges, and more. Sometimes, there are some teens who may feel that something bad is going to happen, or that they won’t be able to deal with a situation, and that feeling just won’t go away. It comes back again and again, often, leading to negative consequences. We can provide a free evaluation so that we can determine whether or not we would be able to help your teen.
Counselling for Teenage Anxiety: Signs that Your Teen Could Benefit from It
For many, the clearest sign that your child benefits from treatment for anxiety is that their anxiety just doesn’t go away. Maybe they’ve even tried to alleviate their anxious thoughts and feelings on their own to no luck. Perhaps they just always feel nervous, and uneasy, no matter where they are. Maybe it’s started to permeate into their day-to-day activities, making it difficult for them to keep up with them. It could even manifest itself in physical ways, such as making their muscles tense, they can’t get comfortable, they’re always tired or short of breath, and so forth.
Small Things You Can Do for Your Teen When They Aren’t Here
One of the most common questions we’re asked by parents is some version of “what can I do when they aren’t at Insight Treatment?” We have plenty of parents’ groups and nights so that you can meet and talk to others dealing with the same concerns you are. That said, you always want to let them know how much you support them, how you’re there for them, making it clear how anxiety doesn’t make them lesser in any way, and so forth. To the extent that’s possible, getting them regular exercise, a good routine, and spending time in the sun/nature can also help.
