You’ve been watching your kid struggle for so long. You know how important friendships are throughout life, especially during the teen years.

Read MoreDon't get me wrong, the holidays can be a wonderful time of year. Or at least most of what the holidays are about. But sometimes they can be somewhat overwhelming. I like holiday music, but hearing it everywhere 24/7 for two months is too much for me. I also like holiday parties. But seven family gatherings, five friend parties and three work shebangs in one month can weigh me down.
Read MoreYou’re several months into a new relationship (friend or romantic). You’ve enjoyed your time together, and you feel hopeful things will last. But something’s nagging at you. You find yourself feeling insecure when they don’t reply to your messages soon enough. You’ve noticed they often change or cancel your plans last-minute. You try to push away the anxiety and disappointment, telling yourself, “Don’t mess this up!” But ultimately, a familiar feeling of insecurity has crept in. “Why does this keep happening?” Relationships can be complicated in the best of circumstances, but when we’ve experienced repeated heartache or harm, they can feel like a vicious cycle. How do we make sense of things?
Read MoreAs therapists, we get it. Teens are naturally drawn to their devices because of how their brain development drives their desire for intensity and immediacy, technology changes so quickly these days that it can feel impossible to keep track, and we don’t even fully know how this screen usage affects our brains because it’s all so new. And, teens aren’t alone. I hear from adults all the time who also struggle with how to take technology breaks because these things are designed to keep our attention.
