The Anxiety Conquering Workbook for Teens: Fun and Simple DBT-Based Exercises to Master Stress, Build Resilience, and Manage Your Emotions

Being a teenager isn't easy.

You're at a very pivotal and very vulnerable time in your life right now. Everything's new and exciting but, at the same time, uncertain and overwhelming.

There's a lot going on inside you and around you, and sometimes it seems like you just can't catch a break. All you want to do is make friends, pass your classes, navigate high school, have your first boyfriend/girlfriend, make a name for yourself... and have fun doing it.

Is that too much to ask?

Wouldn't it be easier if emotions came with an instructions manual? Half the time, you don't know why you're feeling the way that you are. If you aren't stewing over the D that this totally unfair teacher gave you, you're upset about your first major fight with your best friend.

Emotions are hard to understand - even for adults.

As a teenager, you're struggling with a lot of emotional ups and downs. You've got really high highs and really low lows. Throw emotions into the mix and it's no wonder you have days where you just want to stay in bed.

But you can't live your life hiding and hoping the rain will stop. Sometimes, you need to go out and weather the storm.

That's what this book is about. It will give you the tools you need so you don't have to spend your teenage years limited by bad weather. It will use fun, easy activities to help you get a handle on your thoughts, emotions, and triggers.

It will help you remember that, no matter how bad the storm gets, you are safe. And you are capable of facing it.

Aside from numerous DBT-based exercises that will help you manage your emotions and thrive, this book will also cover:

• The power of staying grounded and aware of the present
• How many people live their life on autopilot - and why this may be contributing to your emotions
• The truth about multitasking (hint: it may not be as efficient as you think it is!)
• How the Wise Mind can help you through emotionally overwhelming situations
• The difference between Willingness and Willfulness - and which is best for emotional growth
• Why and how to set boundaries - and the barriers you may encounter along the way
• Common myths and misconceptions about emotions - stop falling into the grasp of these myths!
• What the Opposite Action skill is... and how it can be just the tool you need to help you regulate your emotions

... and much more.

It might take you a while to manage your feelings. It might take you months. It might take you years. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that you're ready and willing to take back control. You're going to live life on your own terms instead of letting emotions dictate how your day's going to go.
