The teen increasingly moves from seeing and accepting the patent as boss to seeing them more and more as a consultant. As a consultant, the teen takes the expectations of the parent under advisement and then knowing or unknowingly to the parent, makes their own decisions. That is simply part of the growing up process.

I recently declined two requests for couple counseling. Couple counseling can be an intense setting where issues are laid bare. Interestingly, in both cases the callers were prepared to continue with couple counseling despite their disclosures of untoward behavior. I suggested individual counseling in both cases.

It’s not uncommon for me to decline a request for couple counseling. The reasons typically have to do with safety and/or substance use and/or serious mental health issues. Couple counseling can be an intense experience. Safety is code for concerns of domestic violence. Screening for these issues is never perfect.

While I am pleased so many parents value counseling and want it for their kids, do know that it is not always helpful and indeed, can be harmful. Many kids interpret counseling as them having done something bad for which they must now talk to someone. Counseling in those situations won’t affect the cause.

While you or someone else may think a particular teen needs counseling, it doesn’t mean it will be helpful. Counseling is one of those things that simply works best when attended on a voluntary basis by someone who self-identifies a need as well as a desire. Think beyond counseling. Looks good, does nothing.

For those where it may be the case that they truly are spent holding themselves together at school, we wonder about neurodivergences and/or mental health challenges. They truly may be exerting so much mental energy controlling these matters that once home, exhaustion overwhelms. Maybe for some.

It can be difficult to appreciate the impact of mental illness on one’s capacity to meet the daily demands of life and on the capacity to manage stress. Having a mental health diagnosis is like carrying additional weights on one’s back. To add, the issues of mental health must be separated from the person.
