Beyond Coping Skills: The Ultimate Teens' Workbook: Integrating CBT and DBT for Lasting Emotional Regulation and Personal Growth (Successful Parenting)

I recently came across Beyond Coping Skills, and it's nothing short of a game-changer for anyone dealing with anxiety and emotional overwhelm, especially teens. The approach here, blending Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), is a breath of fresh air. One of the standout features of this workbook is its accessibility. The language is clear and concise, making it incredibly easy to read. But what truly sets it apart is the practical exercises. They're not just exercises; they're lifelines. For those who might struggle with emotionally triggered ADD, the exercises are broken down into manageable steps. While the book is primarily designed for teens, how valuable it would be for adults too. Emotional overwhelm doesn't discriminate by age, and the strategies offered in this workbook are universal. Whether you're a teen battling the complexities of adolescence or an adult grappling with life's demands, unexpected diagnoses or intense live changes, you'll find solace and guidance within these pages. I wholeheartedly recommend Beyond Coping as a complement to in-person therapy. It's like having a supportive therapist with you between sessions, providing tools and insights to manage anxiety effectively. It's a valuable resource for teens navigating these tumultuous years and for adults seeking to regain control over their emotional well-being.

Good book for new therapist to use with kiddos!

This workbook not your everyday school textbook, it dives into stuff like CBT and DBT (yeah, they sounded like alphabet soup to me too, but trust me, they're important). It makes these topics understandable for anyone. It's got a bunch of exercises that make you think about your thoughts and actions. The best part is it's not all about fixing problems, but also about appreciating the cool things about you. Sure, it could use more real-life examples or pictures, but the content is solid. You can use it alone or along with the other workbooks from the same author - it's flexible like that. Reading it feels more like a journey than homework, and it can seriously help you cope with stuff and grow. So, it's definitely worth a look!

My MH staff found this to be a great resource!

This book is amazing. The author starts out by giving statistics that verify the need for the book. He then explains the different types of therapy that can help teens understand their thinking/behaviors. Next, he walks them through recognizing the good and working to improve areas in their lives that need work. The book includes easy-to-follow exercises to help them develop their new skills. This book is written for teens but I believe anyone would benefit from reading this book. For someone who has never worked through their issues or has low self-esteem, this book is a great starting point. This book would be good for schools to offer as a course for teens to go through. I am a Gerontologist and do a tremendous amount of training to professionals as well as families and I must say I learned some things as I went through this book. I would highly recommend this book for individuals of all ages to read!

Awesome book! Has a lot of helpful information how to deal with all the different types of issues & how to recognize and manage emotions. I totally recommend this book!

This product is professionally written, well organized, and well edited. I'm not a huge fan of this type of cognitive therapy. It's never benefited me in a terrific way. But I have found that, by and large, writing is an excellent way of organizing and sorting one's thoughts. The downside, of course, is that most people don't like or enjoy writing. Still, the exercises here are good ones, and beyond this product more people would benefit from writing to promote self-reflection and self-healing.

It had good info for older teens but not younger ones

Perfect book to for self use! Would highly recommend

Would’ve been perfect for my stepson but his mother didn’t think it was appropriate, only because I bought it. Excellent information and I completely recommend it as long as it’s used not locked in a drawer somewhere

This book educates the reader about mental health and all the emotional ups and downs that a typical teenager feels. The book is written in a way where the reader can interact with themselves through the process of working through questions. Most of us will come across mental problems during the course of our lives and teenagers, to whom this type of book is geared for, are no different. This is a workbook that allows the reader to answer thoughtful questions in order to feel more at ease with any turmoil that the teenager might be feeling. I think that this book is extremely beneficial for teenagers and even for young adults. If you know a young person that seems to be struggling in life, this book would make for a useful and inspirational gift.

grandsuaghter likes this book but i thought it would a little thicker
