Powerful tools to help you manage the anxiety that makes you angry.

Do people tell you that you seem angry? Do you find yourself losing your cool from time to time? From academic stress, worrying about college, and dealing with friend drama—you've got a lot on your plate. Is it any wonder, then, that the stress of it all can cause you to snap? If anxiety or stress is causing you to act out in ways that don't seem like you—this book can help.

Using a proven-effective approach rooted in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), When Anxiety Makes You Angry will help you identify the anxiety beneath your anger, accept difficult emotions—rather than fighting or trying to ignore them—and learn healthy coping and self-regulation skills to help you find emotional balance. You'll also discover how to "train your brain" to stop and think before reacting; and how to choose calm over chaos when faced with the things that trigger your anxiety or anger.

The teen years are full of changes, and sometimes it can be hard to deal with all the worry, uncertainty, and setbacks (without getting angry). But with the right tools, you can take control of anxiety and the difficult emotions it causes—and face the challenges ahead with confidence and a clear head. This friendly guide has your back!

In these increasingly challenging times, kids and teens need mental health resources more than ever. With more than 1.6 million copies sold worldwide, Instant Help Books are easy to use, proven-effective, and recommended by therapists.

      Gr 6 Up-There are few teenagers who don't experience anger. Some struggle on a daily basis with how to control their reactions to events; others may suffer from occasional outbursts. In this comprehensive guide to dealing with a universal emotion, anxiety therapist Dunn walks teens through the likely causes for this often-misunderstood feeling and helps them come up with solutions to combat their behavior. Explaining that most anger stems from anxiety, she lays out simple ways to identify growing anxiety in all areas of life, and then lists clear ideas for dealing with specific types of anxiety. Using cognitive behavior therapy tools, the author provides exercises that are easy to incorporate into busy school days. She includes charts and other infographics that are geared toward stressed-out teenagers, who may not feel they have time in their everyday schedules for an emotional self-evaluation. As an added bonus, the author offers several practical and preventative calming techniques. VERDICT This valuable guide is sure to help teens, and the adults in their lives, manage anxiety and anger. Recommended for all libraries.-Karin Greenberg
