Deal with Separation Anxiety as a teenager

Separation Anxiety is a MAJOR problem for teens these days. Separation Anxiety in teens can pop up in the form of avoiding school or leaving home, sending multiple texts or messages in a row until someone responds or blocks you, or continuing to ask your friends if they actually like you or if they're mad at you.

So what can you do to control your separation anxiety? It really comes down to healthy Coping Skills. Coping skills help you stay in control of your emotions so you can live a happier life.

// ABOUT
Hi- I’m a mental health therapist, my name is Mallory and my pronouns are (she/hers). This channel is dedicated to helping YOU improve your mental health!

We know 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 of self-care tips and coping strategies for major teen issues like 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.
