FAMILY CONSULTATION - CRISIS

Approach & Indications

Credere believes that our current mental healthcare system victimizes those who are healthy and, due to the complexities of symptoms, excludes those who are severely hurt. 

Even masters of masking will experience need for support. Ignoring underlying issues or opting for quick fixes may seem easier, but it invariably exacerbates long-term challenges, resulting in lifelong struggles. While medication and hospitalization often appear to be rapid solutions, they are frequently counterproductive. Ideally, these healing journeys should be guided by parents and caregivers for meaningful, lasting outcomes.

Credere consciously offers individual and parental care to those exhibiting behaviors that lead to despair.

• Developmental path (Age 3 and up): Exhibits remarkable wit, quick learning ability, natural leadership skills, mature responses, and deep insight into others' struggles. Highly observant, quiet, and amazed by the world, but easily frustrated after initial failures, embarrassed when corrected, and irritated by a normal developmental pace.

• Developmental path (Age 8 and up): Normal development with occasional sleep issues or unusual daily control problems with peers. Experiences manageable anxiety regarding sleepovers, friends, new teachers, and routine changes. Easily startled, happy around some, strangely quiet around others, and displays strong emotional responses to small affairs.

• Developmental path (Age 14 and up): Consistently feeling misunderstood with continuous frustration. Too silent, dark-eyed, easily startled, and triggered by small changes. Experiences unnoticed, on-and-off depression, and regular episodes of jealousy guided by emotional turmoil that parents cannot successfully resolve.

• Developmental path (Age 17 and up): Struggling with complex behavioral choices, social withdrawal, and difficulty maintaining boundaries despite sufficient grades. Experiences challenges with body image, self-destructive impulses, and severe difficulties in emotional regulation. Faces significant psychiatric challenges that may necessitate inpatient treatment or deal with personality dynamics that present specific treatment obstacles, leading to a lack of independent living skills.

Framework & Process

• Blood, sweat, and tears: Prepare for a rigorous, emotionally demanding therapeutic reality.

• Commitment to self-learning: Openness, perseverance, and active self-reflection are absolute requirements.

• Regular expert consultations: Consistent, high-level alignment to navigate complex family dynamics.

• Frequent setbacks: Expect non-linear progress and moments of regression during the healing process.

• Long-term personal investment: A significant investment that often yields no immediate results for one, two, or even three years.

• A new view on parental authority: Radical openness may enhance the chances of improvement by up to 70%.

The Parental Mandate

Consequently, parents and caregivers highly benefit from professional guidance to develop the essential skills required to guide these intense healing journeys.

Guidelines & Parameters

• Caregiver integration: The trajectory demands that the immediate system (parents/caregivers) actively anchors the therapeutic framework at home.

• Sustainable tracking: Monitoring focus remains entirely on long-term systemic integration rather than rapid, counterproductive stabilization.
