More About How to Re-establish Connection When Your Teenager Has Cut You Off Emotionally?

If you’re a parent whose teenager has emotionally cut you off, it’s important to acknowledge the hurt and anger while also recognizing that your child is likely feeling overwhelmed with big emotions.

● Realize That This Is Normal Behavior for Teens: Teens are beginning to learn who they are and how to express themselves. Remain understanding, be patient, and try not to take things personally.

● Focus On Small Interactions: Focus on compliments or short conversations about daily activities so that trust can slowly be built back up over time.

● Be Available to Listen: Teens often need a safe space where they feel heard and understood. If your teen won't talk directly with you, try finding other ways for them to express themselves, such as journaling, or talking with friends, or family members who they trust. ❤️

You may also consider looking into counseling services so that your teen has access to professional help if needed. Contact SMD Associates for more. 👩‍💼
