What Sadly Happens When Children Are Asked to Do CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)?
First, CBT is cognitive behavioral therapy. Children don’t have an evolved way of thinking like adults do, so they don’t have cognitive development. So, a child can’t verbally talk about anxiety like you can as a parent. Furthermore, children and teenagers in therapy will play or draw out their feelings. And, a CBT therapist will only leave your child with shame and feeling even more down on themselves after therapy. Children can’t process in the same way as adults talk it out. If you goto a therapist who is not an expert with children, your child will inevitably feel in school again. Moreover, your family dynamics will most likely keep getting worse, more distant, and disconnected.
