Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life for Teens, Second Edition: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills for Helping You Manage Mood Swings, Control Angry Outbursts, and Get Along with Others

Bought this for my teen daughter as she has typically been struggling with her moods and emotions during this period of change in her personal and social life. It didn't say much in the information before I purchased it, but I went off the reviews and took a chance. Glad I did, she loves it! She particularly likes the workbook feel as it's interactive and allows her understand her feelings as she's reading/working through it. It's set out in a clear, informative way and has helped her to find better ways to deal with her emotions, rather than get angry! I have seen a marked improvement. I also notice she goes back to the book each time she's feeling emotional about fallouts with friends/hormone moods/wobbles in stressful moments and has allowed her to express her feelings in a more mature manner. Highly recommend this book.

Based on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy this is a book I have been using whilst working within a child & adolescent mental health service. Lots of ideas, guidance and worksheets for adults to use in a collaborative way with teens, and if they don't or won't collaborate at least you can discover how you can hold your own emotions whilst struggling to hold theirs.

Fantastic work book which my teenagers found interesting before I'd said what it was about! Got another one so they can work through the books individually. Very user friendly! Highly Recommend!

I have only read the first chapter so far, but it seems to be the right book and is easy enough to read and seems to be pitched right. Time will tell, I suppose, but so far, so good

Have found this very useful to browse and come up with ways of supporting teens. Bite size appears to work well due to short attention spans!

Easy to read and very informative
