I’ve been struggling with anxiety a lot recently， and this book taught me a lot of different ways to cope with my anxiety。 I also was able to reflect a lot through the questions， which was also very helpful。 If you struggle with anxiety， I recommend this book！

This is a really great book for anxiety。 I think this book， more than horse therapy， more than anything she's learned/been taught， helped her anxiety。 She learned so many ways to cope。 She had a huge chest of skills， that she was willing and able to pull from when we stopped。 （An international move and a change to our homeschool schedule prevented us from finishing the last few chapters。）She barely even has to cognitively reach for the skills these days as she's gotten so good at just naturally This is a really great book for anxiety。 I think this book， more than horse therapy， more than anything she's learned/been taught， helped her anxiety。 She learned so many ways to cope。 She had a huge chest of skills， that she was willing and able to pull from when we stopped。 （An international move and a change to our homeschool schedule prevented us from finishing the last few chapters。）She barely even has to cognitively reach for the skills these days as she's gotten so good at just naturally coping， instead of being overwhelmed。I will say that， as a homeschool family， and a protective mom， I wasnt comfortable just handing her the book and telling her to have at it。For one， I wanted to know what she was learning so I could help her。 Her dad and I found it infinitely helpful to help her recall techniques when we saw her "going off"。 Reminding her to breathe， or go to her happy place or any number of things to physically do （of which she listed as we did the lessons） helped us to help her。 And two， there are some more mature "themes" that come up that I like to either guide her through or completely overlook。Overall a really helpful guide book for working through anxiety。 HIGHLY recommended。 。。。more

I work in a domestic violence shelter as a youth advocate and recently reached out to New Harbinger Publications to donate some of their workbooks for teens to help us patch the gap in our teen resources。 They were amazingly generous in their response and because of that we now are able to provide teens who come through the shelter with this information and these exercises to help them learn about their own emotions and learn techniques for regulating them and caring for themselves。This is one o I work in a domestic violence shelter as a youth advocate and recently reached out to New Harbinger Publications to donate some of their workbooks for teens to help us patch the gap in our teen resources。 They were amazingly generous in their response and because of that we now are able to provide teens who come through the shelter with this information and these exercises to help them learn about their own emotions and learn techniques for regulating them and caring for themselves。This is one of the books New Harbinger Publications donated。 I've been going through it to find activities with which to create a binder for teens coming into the shelter and I've found so many wonderful activities that hinge on teaching the reader emotional competence: how anxiety effects them/how do they experience it， reflecting on support systems， healthy ways of coping， moving toward better regulating anxious feelings and reactions to those feelings， making plans and developing skills to manage anxiety-inducing situations， etc。The only thing that rubs me a little the wrong way and why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that some of the language suggests that the anxious thought patterns are a choice rather than symptomatic of out of balance hormones and brain chemicals， which feels problematic to me （though it does early on describe what is chemically happening in an anxious brain， so maybe that balances out？） Additionally there is a section about recognizing "a higher power" which made me feel a little weird， despite being a very spiritual person myself。 I do recognize that a lot of people take comfort in a higher power and I appreciate that it wasn't referring to a specific higher power， but on a personal level I prefer to take a path that highlights personal， inner strength to motivate forward rather than looking to an external source。 But that's just me。One of the lovely things about this book is that so much of the information and so many of the activities are relevant to adults， too， even if they're tailored to a younger audience。 The information is presented in a highly accessible way， and I anticipate the activities in the books to be useful not only to the teens in the shelter but to the adults as well。 。。。more
