Teens with Substance Abuse Develop Self Efficacy in Wilderness Therapy
“I need to work on me” - In the wilderness old patterns and behaviors persist. Perhaps your child uses peers of family as a scapegoat for certain patterns of behavior. In the wilderness, those behaviors manifest but the alleged cause has been removed. There are no parents or cell phones or anything else. Being in the wilderness allows you to recognize the causes for these behavior patterns as an internal force that can be explored through therapeutic intervention.Self-Efficacy in and of itself is not the only way to promote growth and change, but it can provide a framework to begin to develop a new perspective on what has been occurring for your loved one and ways to help empower them moving forward.
