Bullying
What is and how to recognise bullying?
Many of the ailments, moods or ways of life that people suffer are the result of behaviours that at some point have been unbalanced. Be it in children or adults, psychology is a fundamental tool to restore these problems. Through our centres at Marbella, Sotogrande or Gibraltar we would like to offer you help. We will give you the necessary tools to regain control of your emotions.
Hallin Mental Care is a specialist centre with 8 professional therapists in very diverse areas of specialisation. From eating disorders, nutrition, psychological problems in children and adolescents or disorders in the elderly. A team with vocation and experience who continually update their training to apply all their knowledge to therapies and treatments with the latest medical advances.
How to help a child or teenager who is being bullied?
If we have observed any of these behaviours in our child, we should seek professional help as soon as possible.
When victims of bullying come to therapy, they already have great somatization, stomach aches, headaches, anxiety, fears, nightmares, change in eating habits… Is is very important to be aware of any signal, however small it may seem, and follow up. Behind the small signals there can be a cry for help from a terrified child.
From a therapeutic point of view it will be very important to strengthen their self-esteem. Wounds from bullying and post traumatic stress disorder are worked on. The anxious-depressive symptoms that they present and their feelings of anger and helplessness are also worked on.
We will give the child suitable guidance so that they can put aside feelings such as, guilt, pain, shame, anger, sadness and hopelessness. These feelings can emerge as a result of bullying. We would have to develop the necessary emotional strategies to overcome the situation.
It is important that parents enhance their son or daughters sociability. It is recommended that they do an after school sport where they can meet other children and a different environment outside of the school environment. Martial arts are often good opportunities to start their new stage of strengthening.
At Hallin Mental Care we can guide both children and parents. We will also offer tools to the school to give the corresponding support to all parties involved. In this way, appropriate measures can be taken to eradicate the suffering immediately.
We can help you if it is your child or someone you know who is bullying others. In most cases there is a psychological and environmental background that produces such behaviour. With the appropriate psychological treatment, together with our professionals, it can disappear.
