[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do these things work for teens? Therapists don’t just tell kids to be friendlier. Nor do they call the principal and ask the principal to change the school culture. Instead, they ask teens to reflect on their actions or words and consider how they might have been perceived by others. They help them explore assumptions about what others might be thinking and provide insights into group dynamics.

Many angry responses seem to carry the assumption that therapy is something negative or something for people who are being judged. That's not the case. Therapy is for everyone, and people can go for any reason.[/quote]

I don’t think that therapy is negative.  And sure, a therapist can help someone who struggles socially or with relationships in a variety of contexts.  You can work on anxiety or empathy. 
But a therapist can’t really do anything for someone who generally doesn’t have trouble fitting in, but is struggling in this one particular situation.
