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 β€” 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 β€” this book can help.

Using a proven-effective approach rooted in evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), When Anxiety Makes You Angry will help you identify the anxiety beneath your anger, accept difficult emotionsβ€”rather than fighting or trying to ignore themβ€”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 causesβ€”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.
