  I came across this book three weeks ago and I haven’t been able to put it down ever since. I have lived with anxiety for the past four years… and I have read many books and done a lot of research on the subject with hopes to find ways to help me cope with my anxiety, but I haven’t come across quite anything like this book. I have found it to be very easy and straightforward to read, but at the same time concentrated with useful knowledge and techniques essential to overcoming anxiety. I have been practicing these techniques whenever feeling very anxious, and I have to admit that I have already noticed some changes on how I react to daily stress… This book has helped me realize that I always have a choice to “step back” and reflect on whatever may be happening at that given moment, and then make a decision on how I react to it. I am so happy that I found this book.

  Reading “Helping Your Anxious Teen” is as reassuring as having a consultation with an experienced therapist. Dr Josephs anticipates your questions, helps you understand your child’s anxiety, and most of all, gives you practical advice for parenting. As a psychologist, I especially like the tone, format, and clearly presented cognitive-behavioral information in the book. The author has a kind, empathic point of view while giving clear steps for parents to handle their child’s anxiety. There are a few phrases that stuck in my mind, such as, “to beat anxiety, we have to do the opposite of what it wants us to do”. There are chapters focusing on worrying, avoidance, social fears, perfectionism, irritability, panic, and stress in the family. You can read the whole book, or look immediately at the area most concerning to your child. This is one of the most useful self-help books I have read in a long time. I will be ordering waiting room copies and recommending this book to parents!
