Hello Beautiful Quenby ππ₯° I Was That Teenager π I Felt That I Was Just Another Client To Them. As I'm Older I Know That It Was To My Detriment π’
Iβm so glad I found this channel. Therapist here about two years post degree and man β if I had a dollar for every time I heard βI donβt knowβ β Iβve been binging your videos to help me work with my teens and kiddos.
Hi! New subscriber, working with teens for just a few months now. Your tip at 2:15 establishing rapport, taking it slow with teen clients, especially if theyβre hesitant to therapy and donβt like talkingβ¦you said the first couple of a sessionsβ¦are there some teens that may need more than 2 sessions to build trust and begin to open up before we dive into the work of therapy? If it takes 3-5 sessions is that indicative that theyβre not connecting with you and might need another therapist? Thank you!
I know this is an older video, but it was SPOT on and so helpful for me! One activity I came up with for building rapport with teens is sharing music. If the teen is into music, ask them about a song on their playlist they would like to share. Then listen to it between sessions and explore at the next session. I use this to help them think about how they FEEL when listening. It's been incredibly helpful. Thanks again!!!
Yknow when I went to counseling with my mom I personally thought that I was talking or opening up. The councilor said to my mother behind my back that i wasnt. I think the reason for that was that I've never told anyone what I was feeling except for myself in like a notes app. I dont think thats normal.
I work with LGBTQ and trans teenagers in SoCal and I get plenty of folks who are sloooowww to warm up or very resistant to therapy. Loved this video. Great reminders!
I'm a teen and i recently tried counselling but as a person I'm just really anxious especially around new people so for me it didn't really work being trapped in a small room with someone trying to get me to talk about my feelings to the point where i got so anxious I was crying. the things you've covered in this video seem like a really good way from my perpective to be able to releave a bit off pressure from the whole situation and be able to trust rather then being expected to freely regurgitate my feelings.
this isnt saing that this wont work for everyone it can be rlly helpfull for a lot of other people the way it was done just didnt suit me :))
Definitly going to implement art therapy . But what if they are still giving one word answers, how can you pull more out of them while not intimidating them ?
Yaaaayyyy another video on this channel!!!
Building rapport is so important! I often like to have teenagers teach me about their interests. I also made sure to subscribe π

Hello, have you made a similar video for preteen children ages 10-12? It is this age which is also challenging to work with.
Very creative tools and ways thank you for the sharing
