Misattribution of Cause

Teenagers are particularly vulnerable to manipulation due to the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social changes during adolescence. Hormonal surges and shifts in neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, trigger profound physical and emotional changes. These can manifest as intense mood swings, heightened anxiety, bursts of anger, or episodes of depression, often leaving teens feeling overwhelmed or unstable. Even though these feelings originate internally, teens may misattribute their emotional pain to external sources—peers, family, or environment—leading to confusion about the true cause of their distress.

Launching a Young Man: Balancing Nurture and Tough Love

The young man stands at the threshold of adulthood, poised to become a fully capable adult. His parents have done everything they could to prepare him for this moment, including ensuring he attends a private school to receive the best education available. They’ve also encouraged his involvement in sports, church, and other activities to build his character. However, in the last year of high school, he’s lost motivation, spending much of his time playing video games and hanging out with friends.

Managing Work Stress: Practical Strategies

Feeling overwhelmed at work often comes from too many tasks, tight deadlines, or performance pressure. The key is partializing—breaking big goals into smaller, manageable steps and tackling them one at a time. Here’s a quick guide to manage stress effectively.

Here’s how you can conquer stress and anxiety when facing professional failure.

The first step that I recommend to clients is to replace the word “failure.” In our culture, the word failure is a loaded term. In fact, most people have trouble distinguishing between “failing” at a task and seeing themselves as a “failure.” As a result, using that word frequently leads to anxiety and diminished confidence. Instead, think of the event as a setback, or an unaccomplished goal. Setbacks are a normal part of achieving any worthy goals.

You’re feeling overwhelmed at work. How can you use self-care to improve your productivity and well-being?

As I’ve noted in other posts, partializing is an important technique to reducing feeling overwhelmed. Self-care activities should start with learning how to set boundaries. For many this can be difficult because they don’t want to upset or disappoint others. Many also worry about being perceived as incompetent, so they don’t set limits or ask for help. If that sounds like you, seek assertiveness training so that you can effectively set boundaries. Next, prioritize yourself; set aside non-negotiable time for relaxing activities, rest, fun, and social connection.

The Happiness Fallacy

Several years ago, I had a client named James who, at the peak of his business career, married and soon after began an affair with another woman. James had always enjoyed a drink, but during this time of juggling his marriage and the affair, his alcohol consumption spiraled out of control. One night, it caught up with him—he was arrested for a DUI. Shortly thereafter his wife discovered the affair. The consequences of that arrest, combined with other alcohol-fueled incidents, tarnished his professional reputation and ultimately cost him his job. For decades, James had poured himself into his work; being a relentless, dedicated worker was the foundation of his identity. When he walked into my office his marriage was also in crisis, and he seemed lost without a single anchor to hold him steady.
