Don’t Let Your Emotions Run Your Life for Teens

Now fully revised and updated, this workbook offers proven-effective dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to help you find emotional balance and live the life you want.

Life gives you plenty of reasons to get angry, sad, scared, and frustrated—and those feelings are okay. But sometimes it can feel like your emotions are taking over, spinning out of control with a mind of their own. To make matters worse, these overwhelming emotions might be interfering with school, causing trouble in your relationships, and preventing you from reaching your goals and enjoying your teen years.

Don’t Let Your Emotions Run Your Life for Teens by Sheri Van Dijk helps teens take charge of their emotions using proven-effective dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills. This revised and updated second edition provides even more strategies for managing difficult feelings, and includes new information on how to accept your emotions, body-based practices for finding calm, and tips to help you identify the things in life that make you feel happy and fulfilled.

This book offers easy techniques to help you:

• Stay calm and mindful in times of crisis
• Effectively manage out-of-control emotions
• Reduce the pain of intense emotions
• Get along with family and friends
