Support for Teens Engaging in Risky Behaviors in Omaha, NE
You’re worried about your teenager. They’re engaging in behaviors that you know aren’t healthy, but you don’t know what to do. When you’ve tried to talk to them about it, they’ve said: “This is the last time.” “I promise I won’t do it again.” Or they totally deny what you’re talking about and they shut down. Does any of this sound familiar?
When we are struggling, we try to find ways to cope, and sometimes those ways can be harmful and unsafe. Adolescents and young adults might do things like use substances recklessly, they might start fights, they might hurt themselves by cutting or burning themselves, or they might have sex with multiple partners without protection from STDs or pregnancy. You feel frustrated and want your loved one to stop these behaviors, and your loved one may feel powerless to stop. Many people who continue to engage in risky behaviors that they know put them at serious risk already feel ashamed about their inability to stop, and they try to hide the extent of their struggle from their family and friends. Sometimes the extent of their struggle feels hidden even from themselves, such as when the behavior is such a part of their everyday routine that it feels “normal.”
If you want to help a teen or adult that is engaging in risky behaviors, we are here. Email us at Scheduling@bekindomaha.com or call 402-277-9499, for your free 20 minute phone consultation.
Individuals who engage in risky behavior compulsively often exhibit higher rates of depression and low self-esteem, although this connection doesn’t definitively establish causation for their risk-seeking tendencies.
At Be Kind Counseling, we assist numerous clients in gaining insights into their personal patterns, empowering them to make choices that are more beneficial and fulfilling. Frequently, the most challenging step towards healing is reaching out for support, particularly regarding aspects of our lives that can remain concealed even from those closest to us.
Fortunately, by seeking help, you and your loved one are not alone in navigating these challenges. With the compassionate and nonjudgmental support of a therapist, your teen can explore the reasons behind their decisions, gaining insight and envisioning a different future alongside healthier habits.
As they gain greater clarity around their past, present, and future, our clients also acquire valuable tools and coping strategies, enabling them to confidently step into the most empowered and authentic version of themselves.
