Is your teen struggling with intense moods
These teens are biologically sensitive, overwhelmed with intense emotions that they manage with self-destructive behaviors like cutting, binging and purging, substance abuse, or any other dangerous impulses that relieve their pain.
While you might think of your teen’s self-harm behaviors as the problem, it’s actually their solution . . . it’s the strategy their brain has come up with to regulate overwhelming emotions. That’s why we don’t just look at the behavior, or even just the triggers, but the patterns driving and reinforcing it.
When your teen is showing behaviors like . . .
Intense emotions
Impulsive urges
Self-harm
