Sometimes my teen’s emotions are so intense that they are scary. Is that normal?

While it may not seem like it at the moment, feelings are fleeting and will come and go. Especially during the teen years, emotions can feel downright apocalyptic! It’s normal for the person experiencing them and for their family and friends around them to sometimes feel scared. Reassure your child that those emotions will pass and that therapy is a chance to explore the root cause of them.
