If people find they have difficulty in relationships with peers, they may be experiencing some interpersonal issues or individual mental health concerns. Trouble in peer relationships often becomes a problem during childhood, when children are supposed to be forging friendships with other children their age. Trouble in peer relationships may be a sign of anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or trauma.
Available Treatment Options
Therapists and counseling interventions for peer relationships for children may include Play Therapy to process trauma and emotions, social skills training, communication techniques, or other specified therapeutic processes based on their diagnosis.

Do you hear an inner critical part telling you that you are not doing it right? That you should have figured this out along time ago (you have worked hard enough)? Do you hear an inner shaming part reminding you that you have already done therapy? Do you have a fix-it part that is making the "to-do" list as you read? Do you have a part that blames you for not following through? Can you see all...

Loneliness and isolation are difficult to work through on our own. We may feel overwhelmed by depression and anxiety and have difficulty finding meaning. We can feel chased by persistent feelings of dissatisfaction, grief, or loss, and question our self-worth. It may feel increasingly difficult to "hold it together for" others in our lives. Even though we need help, we may feel skeptical about...
