emotional balance! It offers interventions to calm a hypervigilant
alert system, increase activity to burn adrenaline, and retrain the
brain to decrease reactions to stimuli--all through engaging
activities with easy-to-follow instructions. A GREAT workbook for
teens struggling with anxiety!"

Attachment and The Attachment Connection--Christina Reese, LCPC,

"With straightforward prose, Schab shows teens that their anxiety
is predictable and manageable. Each chapter teaches teens a
critical concept and illustrates it with examples that they can
relate to. Schab helps teens recognize that anxiety is based on the
story they tell themselves; and then she gives them the language
they need, and activities to practice, rewriting their story. For
teens who are feeling powerless, Schab provides a path to challenge
their anxiety and take back their power."
