About Avoidant Personality Disorder in Teens
Avoidant Personality Disorder is exhibiting long-standing feelings of inadequacy and undue sensitivity to what others think about themselves. These thoughts might lead to your teen to be self-conscious and shy, careful to avoid activities in which they have to interact with others, especially fearful of being the subject of disparagement.
Does your teen think that they are socially inept, certain their peers won’t find them interesting or likable, endure acutely low self-worth and heightened sense of self-consciousness? If so, your son or daughter might be dealing with Avoidant Personality Disorder.
Treatment For Avoidant Personality Disorder at Our School for Troubled Teens
It’s most important to find just the right diagnosis and method of treatments that will allow your teen to flourish, if not making headway in a traditional school setting. Our highly individualized boarding school program might be just the thing to ensure their growth here. While a rather frequently diagnosed disorder, there is not universally agreed-upon effective treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy and group therapy are often used, and social skill instruction might be, too. We know that the last thing you would want is to see Avoidant Personality Disorder rule your child’s life, and our key to success will be to effectively confront their (negative) beliefs about themselves!Find Help For Avoidant Personality Disorder
Our residential treatment center Utah believes the best therapy often happens outside of the office. Our therapists spend hours with the students playing basketball, going on hikes and any number of other activities. Our therapists are with the students day in and day out. We get to know them well, across multiple settings. This allows us to design therapeutic interventions that directly target specific challenges. As students learn to trust, they let their walls down. They are then able to work through their challenges without the power struggles and resistance. At Diamond Ranch, your son or daughter will form a close relationship with their therapist. Under the care and guidance of one of our trained professionals, your child will flourish.
