Do all children need therapy? 🥴
Nov 25, 2023
Do all children need therapy?
I don’t know. Do they? I mean do all adults need therapy?
I get this question all the time as a Marriage and Family Therapist. So, I think about it a lot.
On one hand, doesn’t therapy provide self awareness and help with the journey of self reflection and personal growth?
On the other hand, why do we need a trained therapist for that? Why can’t we sit around with our nearest and dearest and try to reflect and introspect and provide healing amongst ourselves?
And who says we all need healing anyway? I mean, yes, many do. Many unfortunate people have been used and abused in ways only highly trained therapist can help.
But for the rest of the people? Should we all take out double mortgages in order to sit with a trained therapist so that we can be the best we can be?
And speaking of, is therapy only for the rich? Feels that way sometimes. It’s no surprise that I’ve heard many times that a new shaitel for $2500 will make someone feel way more confident than 10 therapy sessions.
What do we think about that as a whole?
So, here are my thoughts. (Take it or leave it, but you know that by now.)
Nah, not every child needs therapy.
But you know what every child does need?
A good mother.
Yup, you heard me. A good Mom. An educated Mom. An up to date on the research Mom. An empathetic, patient, understanding, warm, kind, supportive Mom.
Look at the awesome kids you see running around. The empathetic, patient, understanding, warm, kind supportive kids.
Where do you think they got it from?
They get it from their Mama. (And Dad too. Let’s not forget them!)
Therapy? Nah, Not necessarily.
Being an educated mother with skills and knowledge that can help your child thrive and be successful emotionally and socially?
YES!
