This is a great question, and it is a question often asked by parents. Teenagers typically don’t know what to do or how to communicate in a clear and productive way when they encounter a new difficult situation that they have not experienced before. It can feel overwhelming, confusing, and frustrating -- thus leading to potential outbursts and the impression that your teen is always upset. Teen counseling and therapy can help your teen identify these problematic emotional outbursts, and learn how to self-soothe and better manage their anger and frustration with an improved mindset.
