Trauma Recovery Workbook for Teens: Exercises to Process Emotions, Manage Symptoms and Promote Healing

Very impressed and happy to be working with my teenager on this book. Great information and exercises, we both have PTSD and are learning together things I never knew and that are so valuable for healing. I definitely think it's a great purchase and valuable tool.

My daughter, 15, victim of horrific atrocity, is learning that her thoughts and feelings are normal for a person who has been through the R word. Guilt, shame, hiding things.. lying.. drugs.. horrible choices, zero confidence, etc. they develop their entire lifelong personality based on all this terrible stuff. This book has for real validated her feelings and taught her a million amazing things. Combined with learning all of the amazing skills from the process of teaching self government (look it up, it's the best thing any parent can EVER do to permanently change the heart (and life) of their child - and of the parent) she is getting her actual power back. I highly recommend the Trauma Recovery Workbook for Teens!!! Thank you for helping us parents use CBT & DBT therapy at home, instead of having to outsource to expensive doctors. For millennia, parents were the ones getting their children raised right. Now, we outsource everything, teaching them we can't help them. That we need to get others to help them. Ugh. Never again. This is my show now! And my daughter and me have never been closer and had more respect for each other or so much fun and smiling and laughing and amazing discussions. Don't forget what i said about self government.

I can’t wait to receive this book after seeing all the great reviews. I have a 15 year old daughter who has been in and out of counseling since she was 8 years old. She currently goes to counseling, but this will hopefully help her stay on track when she is in between appointments.

This book is an excellent tool for teens--and adults--who have experienced trauma in their lives. One can use it in conjunction with therapy (recommended), or work through it on their own. I am glad to see an effective resource that can be used independently of therapy for the many who may not be able to see a therapist for various reasons. "Trauma Recovery Workbook For Teens" would also be an excellent resource for school counselors and therapists. The author writes in a voice that is affirming and supportive, encouraging and challenging the reader on their unique journey toward healing, equiping them with tools and helping them develop effective coping skills along the way. Informative and filled with easy to follow instructions, activities (meditation, breathing exercises, journaling), and ways to keep track of your experiences, this book will be helpful for anyone working through their personal trauma history. Don't let the age category on the cover give you pause; young adults and older will also find gentle support on their journey to healing.

I believe the workbook will be useful. Content vextremely spot on and well written. I agree with the 5 star reviews so comprehensively written and am holding high hopes that my recipient of said workbook will read and engage with it. I only downgraded it to a 4 bc the book itself should've been sold as "used". To return for another wasn't an option for me bc I am housebound due to injury/surgeries. It should've been shrink wrapped before stocking/shelving to avoid damages to cover/pages when handled and/or shipped, as in my case. I am pre-reading this before giving it to my intended recipient, and I am glued to it! I never realized all the factors affecting us in our lives, not just as teens! Great workbook...for pretty much any age! Check it out for yourself and / or gift one to someone who might benefit from it.

I have been struggling tremendously. I decided to purchase this book. This book already has helped me so much. It’s important to express yourself and since I had no one to do that with, I chose to purchase this book. Wow. I was so surprised at my progress. This book saved my life. Thank you.

My daughter loves this book! It has helped her immensely. She seems to enjoy this one most of all the books she has.

Great trauma book to help teens .
