Children are perceptive, and they feel the effects of change. Here are some ways to help your child navigate difficult times. Use validation. First, reflect their feeling to them and validate their emotion. “You look sad” or “It feels upsetting when you fight with your brother.” These are excellent ways to encourage communication and let them know you are there. Check-in three times per day. This short time to connect can help create a stronger bond with your child and will teach them how to slow down their day and connect to themselves. Model behavior. Take care of your own needs and demonstrate healthy habits to your kids. Routines. Routines create predictability- which makes an environment feel safe for a child. If you’ve tried all of the above suggestions to help your child who is struggling and they aren’t showing improvement, it may be time for therapy. Contact Wasatch Family Therapy to schedule your initial appointment with one of our compassionate and professional therapists. We have immediate openings at all 4 locations.

👨👩👧👦 Parents, your instincts are powerful. If you notice your teen showing signs of struggle, it's crucial to take action. Look out for changes in behavior, such as withdrawal, mood swings, declining academic performance, or sudden changes in friend groups. Don't ignore the signs. Instead, create a safe space for open communication. Let your teen know you're there to listen without judgment. Offer support and validate their feelings, letting them know it's okay to ask for help. Seek professional guidance if needed, including reaching out to counselors, therapists, or your teen's healthcare provider for expert advice and support. Consider contacting Ridge RTC, where our dedicated team specializes in helping teens overcome challenges and thrive. Remember, early intervention can make all the difference. #ParentingTips #TeenMentalHealth #SupportiveParenting #OpenCommunication #EarlyIntervention #FamilySupport #TeenTherapy #MentalHealthAwareness #RidgeRTC #MentalHealth #TeenSupport #SeekHelp #ExpertAdvice #HealthyFamilies #MoodSwings

We’re human. We’ve been through some of life’s ups and downs . We’ve felt a range of uncomfortable emotions 😔. We have our own high standards for ourselves and struggle when we haven’t met a goal that we’ve set for ourselves . We’ve pursued providers for services, confused with having so many options and little guidance about how to choose the best person for our needs . We’re parents who understand that having a child often feels like a part of you is walking around outside of your body, and you cannot protect them at all times . We know that parental emotions are often intensified when related to a child’s struggles 💔. We’re empathic people 🤝. We connect with our patients. Often, we can mentally and emotionally put ourselves in others’ shoes to more fully understand their experiences. Ready for a change? Let’s grow and move forward together. Call or text us at (914)-883-4173 or book an appointment directly on our website: https://lnkd.in/e6hFgtbE #takecare #takecareofyourself #cabm #centerofanxietyandbehaviormanagement #menthalhelath #humanconnection #humancondition #emotionalhealth #emotionalintelligence #therapyworks

While this may seem protective, it can have lasting effects. As these children grow into adults, they may struggle to form healthy boundaries in their relationships, often becoming too dependent on their partners or avoiding intimacy altogether for fear of being smothered or controlled. Those with enmeshment wounds might feel trapped in their relationships, struggling to find a balance between connection and independence. Healing begins by recognizing the importance of boundaries and learning to foster self-reliance while maintaining healthy emotional connections. Understanding your needs and honoring your limits is key to breaking free from this wound and building healthier, more secure relationships. 🌿 Do you feel the need to understand things better?

Attachment patterns describe how we form and maintain relationships based on early experiences with caregivers. There are four main types: 👉 Secure Attachment: Feeling safe and trusting in relationships, often due to consistent, loving care. 👉 Anxious Attachment: Worrying about being abandoned or not being loved enough, often from inconsistent care. 👉 Avoidant Attachment: Keeping emotional distance, often from caregivers who were emotionally unavailable. 👉 Disorganised Attachment: A mix of anxiety and avoidance, often due to unpredictable or traumatic caregiving. Healing attachment patterns involves self-awareness, therapy, and forming healthy relationships that foster trust and emotional security, helping to reshape these patterns over time. #AttachmentTheory #AttachmentPatterns #HealingAttachment
