GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH UNCERTAINTY FOR TEENS

Today's teens face an increasingly uncertain world. In this practical guide,
two psychologists help teen readers gain a greater understanding of how
uncertainty can trigger feelings of anxiety, fear, worry, and self-doubt.
Grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and
commitment therapy (ACT), the book offers ten skills-based tips to
encourage teens to take “smart risks,” overcome avoidant behaviors, and be
more flexible as they develop a tolerance of uncertainty and learn to take
valued actions toward creating positive change in their lives and the world.
