Relationship Issues Among Teens

Introduction

The stress and negative emotions resulting from conflictual romantic partnerships can affect your teenager in many ways, including suffering from academic problems, participating in risky sexual behaviour, and can be affected by partner violence. Teenage love is often challenging and complicated. It may leave them heartbroken with reduced self-esteem and trust issues. Teens often feel pressured to behave a certain way when they are surrounded by their peers. 


Relationship counselling, also known as couples counselling or couples therapy, is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on helping people improve their romantic relationships. By working with a therapist, couples can explore issues in their relationship, work on their communication, improve interactions, and resolve conflicts.


You can be rest assured that at Skooc, you and your family are in good hands. 


Symptoms


Relationship therapy should begin as soon as the problems get in the way of your daily life. Keep a lookout for some of the following signs of relationship troubles in your teenager:

  • You have trouble expressing your feelings to one another

  • You have one or more unsolvable disagreement

  • There is withdrawal, criticism, or contempt in your interactions

  • A stressful event has shaken your daily life

  • You have trouble making decisions together

  • You have experienced infidelity, addiction, or abuse

  • You want a stronger relationship


If you notice recurring instances of a few of these symptoms in your teenager, we at Skooc recommend a formal evaluation. 


Diagnosis


At Skooc, we help you better understand what you and your teenager are going through. For proper treatment, it’s recommended that a psychologist or psychiatrist perform a psychological evaluation. The mental health professional will ask you questions about your behaviour and mood. Relationship dissatisfaction must be prevalent n during the past month, as evidenced by any of the following: 

  • Pervasive sense of unhappiness with the relationship

  • Thoughts of separation that are more than transitory 

  • Perceived need for professional help for the relationship

Next Steps and Intervention


Our team of professional psychologists at Skooc can help you and your family by providing the necessary interventions. The first few sessions will focus on their history and the problems to solve. They must be prepared to answer questions about their relationship, parents, childhood, and relationship experiences before their current one. 


The therapy method is going to depend on the style of the counsellor and the therapeutic approach they use. 

  • Emotionally-focused therapy – EFT is based on attachment theory and aims to foster healthy interdependency between members of the couple or family

  • Imago therapy – This form of therapy combines spiritual and behavioural techniques with Western psychological methodologies in order to assist couples in unveiling their unconscious components. 

  • Gottman method – This aims to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
