Tricky Teenage Time



The teenage age is a very tricky period of time not only for the parents, but also for the teens themselves. One of the biggest phenomena in their life yet hits them, which is puberty. They undergo physical changes, which are natural, but more importantly, during this period their behavior also majorly changes. You may always see your child as a kid, who is young, naïve and incapable of handling themselves in the outside world. But the sooner you accept that they are growing up and would eventually be doing things independently, the better for you. This does not mean completely letting go of them and not being bothered about their wellbeing. It only means finding a balance between giving them enough space and freedom, and taking authority over them.

It is typical for teenagers to start keeping things to themselves, or prefer sharing more with friends than with the family members. As they grow older they tend to close off the family a bit, which is nothing to worry about, especially considering all the advancements in technology keeping them engrossed in the virtual world. However, if you feel that they are behaving in an unusual way or something is bothering them but they are unable to open up to you and have that conversation, that is when you should make their decision for them and consider child therapy. It is not restricted to children only; child therapists help adolescents facing difficulties too.

You do not want your children to go through horrors like in the TV series 13 Reasons Why. It is alright for your child to have some secretive fun of their own but you should be able to tell when a line is getting crossed, and immediately take action, like consult psychologists, to prevent further damage. You can approach any therapist for teens in Mumbai. In fact almost all Tier 1 and 2 cities should have counselors to guide you. Therefore, do not over analyze your child’s behavior because it may be the age, but at the same time pay attention to their habits and seek help when required.

Here’s what you can expect from depression therapy

In general, we as Indians are yet not evolved enough to fully grasp the power of therapy. In fact, we continue to look at all kinds of mental health issues with suspicion and skepticism. Unless a person has been diagnosed with a serious mental health issue, very often we don’t even consider it to be a problem. A condition that is most often overlooked in this way, is depression. We have a very harmful habit of mentally confusing depression as a mental health condition with simply being or feeling depressed. We all feel low or down from time to time and this is extremely common. However, there is a vast distinction between feeling low and undergoing depression. Depression is a persistent condition that can adversely affect an individual and it’s only through therapy, support groups and group therapy activities can a solution be found.

Family Therapy v/s Group Therapy 

Family Therapy  Family therapy encompasses the counseling given to an entire family and focuses on problems that the family faces as a whole unit and ones that affect the entire family, as well as problems that affect family members as individuals that cause problems within the family. Family counseling operates on the ideology that a family works as one big unit and each family member plays a very important, vital role in the dynamic of the family. The primary motive of family counseling is to resolve conflicts within the family and make family members more aware of the dynamics within the family as well as the pain points that cause power struggles, stress and problems within the family.  Group Therapy  Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves a larger group of people than a family and is led by trained therapists or counselors. Group therapy sessions are held on a weekly basis and specifically target individual struggles and problems that...
