Details:
Worrying about things can feel uncomfortable. For most people it goes away after a while. When feelings of worry or being on edge linger around for longer periods of time, it can be very distressing. People can worry so much about what might happen, that they often do not even try to do things. When edgy and worried feelings stay around much of the time, this is called anxiety. This guide is written for young people who want to understand more about anxiety and how therapy could help them with this problem. It talks about a particular type of therapy, called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT for short. This therapy is very popular and has been shown to be helpful for many problems, particularly anxiety.
This book can be helpful to use alongside CBT therapy and it contains some diaries that can be downloaded from the internet. It is recommended that the introductory book, called Getting through it with CBT: A young person's guide to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used in conjunction with this book for an even better understanding.
