Tired of Teen Anxiety : A Young Person's Guide to Discovering Your Best Life (and Becoming Your Best

Tired of Teen Anxiety is an engaging, step-by-step guide that draws on proven psychological science to give teens the tools, confidence and support to stop being pushed around by their anxiety and instead get on with the more important work of enjoying life.

Tired of Anxiety is a step-by step guide for children on how to do the things that matter to them despite anxiety. Based on principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the book uses evidence-based clinical techniques and describes them in accessible, child-friendly ways to ensure that families have a toolkit for working positively with anxiety over the long term. By acknowledging that difficult thoughts and feelings are a normal part of being human, rather than something we must try to stamp down or wish away, the authors normalise the everyday struggles of anxious young people so that children can learn to ''make friends'' with their own anxiety and get on with the more important work of actually living and enjoying their lives. The text is presented in a visually appealing style, with frequent opportunities to engage with the material and a suite of supporting audio meditations.
