 The section of chapter 5 that addresses emotional development resonated with me. According to the text, adolescents might be very happy one moment and depressed the next. The text also states that adolescents may project their unpleasant feelings onto others. This inappropriate displacement of feelings can lead to conflict within family systems. In my experience as a counselor, adolescents sometimes struggle with this and parents sometimes have difficulty understanding that some degree of moodiness is normal. The challenge is helping adolescents learn emotional regulation and encouraging parents to be flexible (as appropriate). In my experience it can sometimes be difficult getting these two groups to “meet in the middle.” Has anyone else ever experienced this?
