Jodi Aman - Anxiety . . . Im So Done with You: A Teens Guide to Ditching Toxic Stress and Hardwiring Your Brain for Happiness

Praise

I work with teenagers from all over the world, and what they need most is someone who understands them and helps them to believe in themselves. Jodi is [the] perfect example of this. She inspires me through how she helps teenagers increase confidence that they have the power to heal and create their own life, especially when they dont see it. She helps us all see how the future can be better than the past. With warmth and compassion, Jodis workbook activates this empowerment with practical and timeless principles that are easily accessible to anyone.

Ever wanted to not only understand fearbut get rid of it? Do you need help choosing relationships that are mutually beneficial rather than toxic? I recommend Jodi Amans workbook because it has what young people need to harness their personal power and thrive in what we often perceive as a cold, cruel world.

Adolescence with all its remarkable changes is also more likely to trigger stress and anxiety as young people navigate the many challenges they face. Anxiety... Im So Done with You combines Jodis experiences of anxiety together with her many years of experience as a therapist to provide an informative workbook on how to manage anxiety-related emotional distress. Emojis, engaging graphics, and a warm, personal style of writing provides young people with an understanding of what anxiety is, how it impacts on you, and outlines key steps to making change. The book includes a helpful chapter on managing self-harm behavior and a detachable guide for parents. This unique book is well worth a read.

In the chaotic world we live in, teens are inundated with high-stress situations and experience a roller coaster of emotions. It is so important to have resources such as this workbook that will actually help teens to eliminate anxiety and rewire their developing brains away from the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight) and back into their parasympathetic system (calm). Not only will that help them to show up to their teenage lives in an easier manner, but will create skills and neuropathways that can last a lifetime. Jodi Aman has done a fantastic job with this wonderful resource. This workbook has everything young people need to trust their personal power to thrive in this modern world.

INTRODUCTION:
Spoiler Alert!

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

Maya Angelou

Dear Reader,

Adolescence is a time of great turbulence, but unlike the caterpillar who goes into a safe cocoon while its transforming, we, humans, have to be exposed to a chaotic world while we are doing one of the hardest things in our lifebecoming ourselves.

If you feel like the adults in your life dont understand, Ive got you covered. I have added a parent resource section at the back of this book (). Cut those pages out and staple them together. Let your adult read them while you go through this book yourself.

Before we start, let me ask you: Are you ready to get your life back?

Jodi

Will I be ok?

Yes! You will be okay. You can definitely feel better than this. Let that sink all the way into your heart.
