About This Workbook
Anxiety in teenagers looks different for every teen. For some, it is racing thoughts that will not stop at night. For others, it is feeling shaky before school, avoiding social situations, or sensing that everything is about to go wrong.
When Anxiety Takes Over gives teens a practical workbook they can use to slow down, understand what anxiety feels like in the body, manage overwhelming emotions, and build coping skills through Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). The language is supportive, clear, and written for teens without talking down to them.
Written by Marsha Gray, MSW, a Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of social work experience, this workbook is built for teens, parents, counselors, and social workers looking for practical anxiety support tools.
