How CBT Can Help Your Suicidal Teen

Aug 31, 2017

Do you have a depressed teen who has been contemplating or openly discussing suicide? This is a very scary prospect because it can be so unpredictable. Most people who commit suicide do it on a whim or an impulse. As a result, it is important to identify the patterns of thought that can lead to suicidal thoughts and correct them with cognitive-behavioral therapy or CBT.

What Is CBT?

CBT is the correction of negative thought and behavior patterns by replacing them with healthier ones. For example, if your teen often feels useless because of a weight problem and falls into a pattern of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, CBT can identify where these thoughts begin, break the chain, and help steer your teen to healthier ideas.

Common Influences On This Behavior

So why would a teen with a whole life ahead of them contemplate suicide? There are many reasons, ones that can be hard to understand as an adult. They can seem petty, but for the teen, they have a very heavy emotional importance. These influences include:
  • Romantic difficulties (including rejections or breakups)
  • Struggles with a teacher or a class
  • Loss in an athletic event
  • Difficulty making friends or fitting in
  • Being bullied
How CBT Will Help
A good CBT therapist will pinpoint which of these influences is affecting your child's life. Then, they will help your teen learn coping mechanisms that will break these negative patterns of thought and behavior, such as:
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Logically breaking down emotional situations
  • Empathetic exercises
  • Self-esteem-boosting exercises
So if you are worried that you have a suicidal teen that needs help, please contact us today. We can help manage this situation and provide you with a happy and healthy teen.
