On the surface, you see a highly sensitive and irritable teenager. But look closer, and you will notice a kid showing signs of emotional distress.Research shows that modern teenagers—our beloved Gen Zers—experience similar stress levels as adults. However, unlike adults who have been exposed to various coping mechanisms, young people are often confused about ways to cope with stress.
Now more than ever, parents are stepping up and teaching their teens how to psychologically equip themselves for modern challenges. After all, we can’t leave it up to school teachers or social media influencers to prepare our children for the world!
But as much as teens need the support, they desire to work through their problems, at their own pace, in their own time.
The combination of psychotherapy and self-directed learning is an effective way for teenagers to learn about healthy coping strategies, in their own time, in the comfort of their bedrooms.
Without any external pressure, teens are able to study and practice various mind and body techniques and create their own toolkits of useful skills to manage stress and anxiety.
The Teens' Workbook to Self-Regulate is a valuable resource that introduces modern teenagers to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a form of psychotherapy created to develop emotional regulation and behavioral modification skills.

Should be Aimed More at Parents
The book is very informative as a workbook and very well put together, however, I feel it may be too heavy for teens to be handed a copy and left alone, especially given the age group it’s aimed at.
If it came with a trigger warning that it would be better for an adult to read it before giving it to a teen, or to read it with the teen, I believe that would be a much better fit.
I get the impression that the author believes all present-day teenagers face issues that require attention, but I entirely disagree with that blanket perspective.
I feel handing it to a teen to get on with, may help in certain circumstances, but may also stir up associated problems if that teen is already suffering from certain issues.

I think this book may be useful to supplement work with a mental health provider in a limited way, but as a stand-alone self-help book, it assumes too much emotional awareness from kids. Kids need a lot of practice and several relevant examples to work through the exercises in this book. There wasn't enough coaching provided for kids to complete the workbook independently.
I also disliked the heavy focus on childhood trauma and memories. There needed to be more focus on educating readers about inaccurate negative thinking and changing their thinking and behavior. Anxiety Relief for Teens by Regine Galanti is a better way to go for educating teens about CBT skills.
