Is CBT an effective form of therapy for teens?

Absolutely YES! In so much as it is a short-term, intensive, goal-oriented approach, CBT has been shown to have significant positive effects on teens for a few different issues.

This book is here to help teens work through whatever troubles by using CBT. This is a workbook, so it mixes theorical concepts with practical exercises: boys and girls can step by step become familiar with CBT concepts and train their skills, playing and learning new ways to approach life changes and its obstacles.

Here the main conditions that are treated in this book:

• Stress • Mood Disorders • Sleep Problems • Grief • Low Self-Esteem • Anger • OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) • ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) • Phobias • Trauma (Covid-19 included) • Sexual Issues • Self-Destructive Actions and Suicidal Actions

The role of mindful practice is crucial in this self-improvement journey: It doesn’t matter how old you are, teenagers can benefit from practicing mindfulness, it can help to reduce anxiety and increase happiness.

Over time, cognitive behavioral therapy can guide teenagers through the process of generating more realistic versions of situations and provide the tools necessary to cope with them. You can begin to understand that negative emotions will pass, much like a dark cloud on a sunny day.
