DO NOT SAY THIS to teens with Separation Anxiety

If you really want to help teens with their Separation Anxiety, DO NOT SAY THIS. I'm a teen therapist and I know that more and more teens are struggling with separation anxiety these days.
If you see someone who is having trouble going to or staying in school, difficulty keeping up with their homework, or constantly checking in or messaging you until they get a response, they could be struggling with separation anxiety or another mental health condition that's impacting their day to day life.
Please STOP saying these harmful things to teens struggling with separation anxiety, and instead START trying these helpful alternatives.

// ABOUT
Hi- I’m Mallory and my pronouns are (she/hers). I'm a Teen Therapist with a counseling practice based in Woodbridge, CT. This channel is dedicated to helping YOU improve your mental health!
The rates of teens struggling with suicide and self harm are rising and I want to reverse that trend! That’s why on this channel you’ll find I share a lot about coping with anxiety, depression, alternatives to self harm and how to talk to parents and other grown-ups about these challenges.
My biggest hope is to increase mental health awareness and break the stigma of talking to a therapist so teens can get the help they deserve and need right here, right now.

Please continue to make videos about teens with separation anxiety. I am 15 and have separation anxiety and there are very few videos of people talking about teenagers with separation anxiety

[@mallorygrimste]

Hi there. I have an 18 year old son who freaks out if I leave the room, or the other night I had to run into a 7-11 and he wanted to stay in the car. Problem was he wanted me to stay in the car as well! His dad abandoned him when he was younger, we've had friends of his we've had to drop suddenly (because of their mothers) and I regret to say I've been, at times, going through depression and probably not as available emotionally as I'd like to be. Do any teens here freak out with stuff I've described, i.e, someone leaving a room, store, etc, etc...

Marcelo try the tips in this video for them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4e5gaV3oKaBo6c - Separation Anxiety Tips for Teens

[@tillybaker7425]

Hi I have autism can you make a video about that please

[@mallorygrimste]

I would love to Tilly, though that's not really an area I specialize in treating specifically. Is there a more general topic or struggle you'd like a video about?

[@tillybaker7425]

@@mallorygrimste Like anger and how to deal with it

[@mallorygrimste]

Absolutely! I added this to the future videos list. In the meantime, have you checked out the video interview I did with Kelsey Torgerson Dunn? She wrote a book called “When Anxiety Makes You Angry” and she shares some really cool tips in that video. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYObk2uwq92IrbM
