The Anxiety Survival Guide for Teens quickly climbed Amazon’s bestseller list, in books dealing with teenage mental health and depression. “Teens who suffer from anxiety often think of themselves as weak, stupid, or any of many other negative labels,” Shannon writes. “You may think you are the only one who feels things this way and that everyone else is normal. The thing is, normal doesn’t exist. Everyone feels anxiety, and in a surprising variety of situations.” The book works to help teens overcome the fear and worry that can keep them from feeling confident and independent. Based in cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, the book is designed to help teens develop practical strategies for overcoming the primitive part of the brain where anxious thoughts arise, and arm them to handle even the toughest situations that would previously leave them paralyzed.
“This book will not only help teens survive their anxiety, but will guide them out of the fear and worry that limits their lives. I highly recommend it.”
Michael A. Tompkins

The Anxiety Survival Guide for Teens has earned an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars with reviews such as “This book is amazing and it has helped me to cope with a problem I thought was insurmountable,” and “As someone who has dealt with anxiety for many years, I found this book to be extremely helpful in not only understanding my disorder, but also learning how to skillfully deal with it.”
