My name is Tracy Kimberg. I'm a counseling hypnotherapists practitioner, and I am really excited about this episode. I really enjoy helping teenagers in my practice. I don't think it's easy being a teenager, especially now teenagers have so many problems and we go to just delve a little deeper into how teenagers are coping in lockdown and what parents can do.
You as parents or you as teenagers listening, what you can do to cope better and to help build your resilience and help build your happiness. And of course your relationships at the end, going to do another hypnotherapy, download for you completely free something that's going to help you relax. It's called a body scan.

But in my experience as a therapist, I have seen the environmental factors that directly affect teenagers, mental health.
And it's the triggers from the environment and the stress that adolescence cannot deal with, which causes them to have this feeling of complete Oh, the well, so let's discuss some of these environmental factors. Bullying for instance, so many children are affected by bullying. Bullying seems to have become a culture which has been ignored for so long bullying needs to be addressed.
And thank goodness a lot of the schools have got safeguarding rules in place to prevent these things from happening. But I still see the results of bullying when my clients sit in front of me. Some of them adults and they have still got issues and triggers that as a result of being bullied children of today have so many schoolwork demands.
I don't know about you, but my children that have been homeschooling or really under so much stress. It takes a lot of effort to constantly reassure them that wha
