Emotional Regulation Skills Every Teen Should Know: Proven Coping Methods Using DBT and CBT to Handle Stress, Anxiety and Anger, and to Strengthen Sel

Anxiety before school. Anger that explodes out of nowhere. Stress that leads to shut-downs.

Your teen's emotions are running the show and they don't know how to take back control. ����

You've tried talking to them. You've said "just breathe" or "it's not that bad." Nothing sticks.

That's because emotional regulation isn't about thinking differently. It's about doing something different in the moment emotions hit.

And that's exactly what this book teaches.

Emily Carter created this expert guide to translate proven CBT and DBT techniques into tools your teen can use today, not someday after months of therapy.

Here's what your teen will discover inside:

���� The hidden reason your teen's anger is actually covering up a completely different emotion (and the simple question that reveals what they're really feeling)

���� What to do in the 10 seconds before your teen says something they can't take back (this one technique stops regrettable blow-ups before they happen)

���� Why telling your teen to "calm down" backfires every single time (plus the body-first method that actually works in 60 seconds)

⚡ The real reason your teen can't focus on homework (hint: it's not laziness, and Chapter 7 reveals the emotional block sabotaging their concentration)

���� What happens in your teen's brain during a meltdown that makes logical thinking impossible (and the grounding trick that brings them back fast)

✨ The one word that transforms "I'm not good enough" into confidence (therapists charge $150/hour to teach this CBT technique)

���� How your teen can release anger without slamming doors, yelling, or shutting down (the physical release strategy that protects relationships)

This isn't another boring self-help book. It's short, practical, and teen-friendly, written like a supportive coach, not a lecture. Every chapter includes quick exercises teens can try right away, using proven methods therapists rely on (but explained in plain language). ����

Still not sure?

���� "We've tried advice before. Nothing sticks."

This teaches specific techniques like box breathing, body mapping, and reframing, not just "think positive."

���� "My teen won't read it."

It's intentionally concise and engaging, designed for teens with short attention spans.

���� "Will it feel childish?"

The tone is warm and mature. Teens feel understood, not lectured.

Here's what changes: Your teen pauses before snapping. They name what they're feeling instead of shutting down. They use a grounding technique before a test instead of spiraling. Small moments of calm become habits. And those habits change everything. ✨

Here's what happens if nothing changes: The meltdowns continue. Anxiety grows. Negative self-talk becomes their inner voice. The patterns forming right now will follow them into adulthood.

The skills in this book aren't just for surviving the teen years. They're tools for life.

Even if your teen hates "homework" or thinks self-help is cringe, this works because it's fast, practical, and actually helps. ����

Your teen deserves to feel calm, confident, and in control. You deserve to stop worrying every time they face a challenge.
