thank you, Callisto Publishing, for sending me a review copy of this book!

THIS! This is a workbook I’ve been looking for. Recently, when working with teens, I have felt a strong pull to provide them with something tangible to utilize when we aren’t having a session or meeting regularly. Whether it be pages from this book, or the whole book itself, it feels helpful to have something to turn to for either distraction or skill building— both beneficial in their own way, I believe.

Something pretty popular among teens right now are journal workbooks. Wreck This Journal is a good example of this, as well. These journals usually encompass fun, existential questions or culturally-relevant fun activities. To me, this book is the clinical version of that. It meets teens where they are at and gives a platform for self exploration and identity development. The activities in this workbook, I feel, give strong self empowerment towards cognitive modification, and allow the individual to have something tangible to either reflect on or share with their therapist to collaborate.

Super grateful this book exists and am thrilled to have it in my toolbox!

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 my 12 yr old work through the book before her high school years, and I think all teens will benefit from it.I think all teens will benefit from it.

Completely love this book and am using it with adults in my work as well...why? Bc people master the developmental phases identified by Eric Erickson and Piaget at various rates and not always completely for a variety of reasons...this book helps go back fill those gaps, heal and help people progress forward...LOVE IT.
