Does anyone have experience supporting teen boy who has gone through a breakup, where entire happiness and well-being is viewed as being dependent on the relationship? Therapist and doctor advised to focus on current situation, other sources of happiness, listen but not offer too much advice or dwell on this, so as not to reinforce. However issue remains acute and after more than a month we continue to see red flags and strong desire (and set deadline) to reach out to try to repair relationship, which is in itself a big worry incase of negative reaction.
