    If you are a teenager or the parent of a teenager whose life is limited by anxiety, this is the book for you and your family. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist who specializes in treating teens who struggle with anxiety. Cognitive behavioral strategies are proven to help teens manage their anxiety but there can be many barriers to using these strategies. Many teens feel confused by their anxiety, feel that it is a flaw to be anxious, or feel that their anxiety will get worse if they talk about it. Fortunately, we now have this book to help teens accept their anxiety and learn how to use CBT strategies easily and on their own.

    Incorporating newer CBT skills, ie, acceptance and mindfulness strategies, Jennifer Shannon helps reduce shame and judgment about being anxious by showing that anxiety is helpful, hardwired, and has multiple causes that aren’t your fault. She also emphasizes the importance of connecting with the present moment instead of being stuck in the past or future as anxiety would like us to be.

    Jennifer Shannon cleverly uses the monkey metaphor to illustrate how anxiety can take over our thoughts and get us caught up in a pattern of avoidance. She helps us understand that the goal is not to get rid of anxiety but to respond to it in a new way, a way that lets us take charge of our lives again.

    This book outlines simple, effective tools for managing anxiety in general as well as for each anxiety disorder. In addition, Doug Shannon’s illustrations and comics make this book more appealing and accessible.

    If you or your teenager is ready to break free from anxiety and avoidance, I recommend reading this book and following the exercises in order to start leading a more meaningful and full life.
