When a couple divorces, their children's mental health must be the priority. However, some couples cannot resolve their issues amicably and one of them begins to influence the child to take sides, pitting him against the other. This is called parental alienation.
Often, a negative image of the other parent is implanted in the child's psyche and memory... this psychic process is, at times, almost imperceptible and the father/mother does not see the harm he does to the child, in the name of a protective speech. The child who suffers from parental alienation may show symptoms of depression, anxiety, guilt, insomnia, anxiety, phobias and learning difficulties, affecting their biopsychosocial development.
For this reason, psychological help is indicated both for the couple in the process of divorce and for children and teenagers. Count on Proessencial to guide and contribute to the mental and emotional health of families.
