[quote=Anonymous]Maturity and time. As we get older we can understand and believe and internalize that what we are not the center of others attention and that our experience is not unique and others around us have similar problems. Gaining the insight that one is in fact not the “only one who feels this way” or the “only one dealing with these problems” starts to unravel and removes the self inflicted shame and isolation that often breeds the depression in teen years. The second thing maturity brings is more life experiences. Talk therapy is somewhat wasted on teens who have little life experiences to reflect on and apply the discussions and strategies from therapy. Until they have more life experience applying abstract techniques is difficult and that’s why CBT and talk therapy produce little results for most teens. [/quote]
