About this listen

This much-needed book will give you the tools needed to help your teen regulate his or her emotions. In addition, you'll learn the skills for managing your own reactions, so you can survive these difficult years and help your teen thrive.

The teen years can be daunting for any parent. But if you are the parent of a teen who lashes out or engages in troubling behavior, you may be unsure of how to respond to your child in a compassionate, constructive way. In this important book, two renowned experts in teen mental health offer you evidence-based skills for dealing with your teen's out-of-control emotions using proven, effective dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

Helping your teen to effectively deal with their feelings now can have a lasting, positive impact on their future. After all, honing skills for emotion regulation will act as a foundation for your teen's overall mental health. This book will help your teen gain awareness of their emotions, and offers tools to help them choose how to respond to these emotions in effective ways.

If you're at your wit's end and are looking to end the drama while keeping yourself sane in the process, this book will be your guide.

I found myself listening to this podcast several times in various places, over and over again.
The chapters that applied to me I found very helpful. After several weeks I found the last chapter about self-help the most important. I had lost the ability to be me; to be calm, fun, fit n strong, and I too become anxious. Raising two boys has been the hardest challenge of my life. Thanks for the great advice and validation that I’m not on this journey alone.

It was just about being calm and putting boundaries down, the usual parenting model. There was nothing new here and I have listened to that all before. There are no DBT skills in this book at all. I am familiar with DBT and hoped there was would have a mini training program that I could implement. Sadly, it is false advertising and feel really disappointed with the purchase.

No DBT skills here - just usual parenting skills
