Last week I told you about a great system to help teens study, and this week I've got a super book to help them with the ANXIETY and stress of BEING a teen!
Synopsis:
Getting good grades, making and breaking up with friends, and figuring out what being an adult looks like—these are just some of the challenges that can weigh down on teens. With this workbook, they’ll learn real strategies for overcoming obstacles and living the life they want using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Feeling Better: CBT Workbook for Teens teaches teens how to untangle the negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that can trick them into feeling anxious or sad and make it hard to do the things they want to. Through interactive exercises that tackle common issues at home, work, or with friends, this book gives teens the tools they need to deal with anything life throws their way.
Feeling Better: CBT Workbook for Teens includes:
- Real Challenges—Teens discover tools to confront a variety of issues including depression, self-worth, peer relations, anxiety and more.
- Exercises to take action—Real progress and reflection is fostered on the path to feeling better.
- New research—The latest strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy are promoted inside these pages.
Give your teen strategies to be who they want to be using CBT therapy.
Review:
This book has 5 sections- The Basics- about how the book/program works, then Your Thoughts, Your Behaviors, Your Emotions and Putting your Tools to Work. By allowing teens to see how the book is laid out, it lets them know what to expect. Each step builds upon the other, so that by the end your teen has learned not only how to identify stress and anxiety triggers, but to know what their auto responses are and most importantly, how to deal with them in a more productive and mature way. The book is really meant for kids to handle on their own, but I think a parent should review the book before giving it to their teens, so they will know where some parental discussion might be benefitful or needed. I will definitely be having Miss Grace work through the book before her high school years, and I think all teens will benefit from it.
