And while anger is a natural human emotion, different people handle it differently. Some hold in their anger and let it build, some lash out with hurtful words, and some resort to fighting. This second edition of The Anger Workbook for Teens includes brand-new skills and activities based in clinically proven treatments such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help teens deal with negative thoughts without losing control. Teens will find out what’s triggering their anger, look at the ways they react, be more aware of their thoughts and how they interact with them, and learn skills and techniques for managing anger without losing their cool. Teens will develop a personal anger profile and learn to notice the physical symptoms they feel when they become enraged, then find out how to calm those feelings and respond more sensitively to others. Once teens fully understand their anger, they’ll be better prepared to deal with their feelings in the moment.  AUTHOR Raychelle Cassada Lohmann, PhD, LPC, is a national board-certified and licensed counselor.
