Your teen is talking to AI. The question isn’t just whether they’re using it. It’s why.

More teens are turning to AI for advice, support, and connection. Rather than reacting with panic, start with curiosity.

Ask yourself: What need is AI meeting?

Understanding the role AI is playing can help you respond in ways that strengthen connection, not create more distance.

Parents: Has AI become part of conversations in your home yet?

Many parents of anxious teens and young adults are doing everything they can to help.

They step in to make things easier by ordering food, sending emails, or speaking on their child’s behalf because they don’t want to see them struggle.

In the short term, this brings relief.

But over time, it can unintentionally reinforce avoidance and strengthen anxiety.

Social anxiety often grows when uncomfortable situations are consistently avoided, rather than gradually faced with support.

Helpful support doesn’t mean removing every challenge.

It means staying present while helping teens build confidence through experience.

Small steps. Repeated practice. Support without over-rescuing.

That’s where change tends to happen.

If you are curious about the best way to offer support, I’ve written more about it on my website blog. Check out the link in my bio to learn more 🤍

We all have an inner critic that voice that jumps in with worst case scenarios, self doubt, and “you should be doing more”.

Mine is named Beverly and she tends to show up most when I care about something or when I’m trying to do things well.

For a long time I thought the goal was to shut that voice down completely. Now I understand it differently it is part of how the brain tries to protect us even when it goes about it in an unhelpful way.

These days I do not try to get rid of Beverly I just do not let her lead.

this or that (therapy edition 🤓)

if you related to more of these than you expected, you’re not alone.

a lot of teens and young adults I work with describe getting stuck in these same patterns of overthinking, shutting down, and trying to hold it all together on the outside.

if you’re thinking about therapy, you can reach out through my website to see if it feels like a good fit 🤍
