Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life for Teens: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills for Helping You Manage Mood Swings, Control Angry Outbursts, and Description
Let's face it: life gives you plenty of reasons to get angry, sad, scared, and frustrated-and those feelings are okay. But sometimes it can feel like your emotions are taking over, spinning out of control with a mind of their own.

This workbook has changed my life. I have wanted to get help with my anxiety and how I tend to view things, and that may be why it worked so well (I was willing to change--which is essential for receiving help or counseling), so I am not sure if you should just get this for someone who thinks they are able to cope (even when you believe they clearly are not coping well). My sister bought this for me (she asked if I would actually use it, to which I replied "yes!") and I was busy for about a week after getting it, but gee I wish I had found 15 minutes of time every day that week to work on it, because I was awake until almost 2 the first night I used it.
If you want to feel better about yourself and are willing to change, don't think twice; get this workbook.

I've been a teacher for 37 years and have only grown more and more disturbed by the refusal of schools to address the critical realities of the emotional and interpersonal issues kids face. These are the issues that shape their lives and their futures. I've searched for THE book that can address the emotional/psychosocial health of teenagers in a way they can grasp and internalize.
This is it.
Thank you, Sheri Van Dijk and New Harbinger Publications. You are changing lives and SAVING lives.
