Youth Counselling

Sharing your truth

 


Being a teenager should be the greatest time of your life! You have grown out of being a child and are not yet an adult, too old to do some things and too young to do others. Expectations and demands can often seem unfair and confusing, making the growth into becoming an adult full of challenges. In dealing with these challenges you need tools and learning experiences that a standard education often doesn't provide.

These sessions will provide you with a safe and supportive environment in which you can learn about who you are, and your values as a young person. This makes learning to express and share your true feelings and needs in an authentic way and accept and love yourself more easier. Learning to be open and honest with yourself and others, and working through your difficulties, brings trust and opens your mind and heart. This is a much needed capacity in the modern World full of alienation and power games. 

The steps into being yourself in a truthful and open way aren't the same for teenagers as they are for adults. The adult mind is more conditioned and cluttered with norms, rules, and beliefs. Your mind as a teenager contains far more freedom, spontaneity, and innocence, it is more open to new ideas, and new ways of creating, thinking, and relating.

The process is about learning to speak sincerely and truthfully, without fear and insecurity, with friends, other teenagers, your parents, and other adults. Sharing your truth to others inspires them to do the same, in this way you don't need to hide from yourself and others. Living in truth becomes an exciting and rewarding venture.
