Sometimes you suffer from heavy thoughts or experience difficult feelings. If you could shake off this burden, who would you be and what would you do? Would you be better for your friends? Would you lead your sports team to victory? Would you improve your grades? With this workbook, you will learn strategies that will help you live the life you aspire to by applying CBT. This book will help untangle the knot of negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that cause you anxiety, sadness, or prevent you from doing what you want. The exercises performed interactively will be your assistant in solving the challenging tasks that arise when interacting with family, at school or work, as well as with friends; and the book will become a tool necessary for overcoming life's difficulties.

This workbook is designed for teens who struggle with self-esteem and have difficulties managing emotions such as sadness, anger, and anxiety. The workbook will provide coping skills for emotions, but it will not replace a professional psychotherapist. If after studying it you find that you still experience difficulties, it may be worth consulting a specialist who can help apply these skills.
