The Self Regulation Handbook for Teens and Young Adults

Discover how emotional regulation and other coping skills can help you manage big emotions, big life changes, and the issues you deal with on a day-to-day basis.

 

The final years of high school and the first years of college can be full of new experiences, friendships, and learning opportunities. But they can also be a time of upheaval and instability. This trauma-informed handbook will help you remain empowered and centered as you navigate through a variety of difficult experiences, including:

  • Mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, perfectionism, boredom, burnout, and grief
  • Interpersonal challenges like not fitting in, being gaslit, facing discrimination, and problems with communication and relationships
  • External issues like collective trauma, social media pressures, political upheaval, and financial stress

Specifically designed for ages 15 to 21, this comprehensive guide provides valuable tools for utilizing self-regulation to build resilience and cultivate a strengths-oriented mindset. Dr. Kathy Wu, a licensed psychologist, has compiled helpful strategies and practical interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavioral Therapy (DBT), and others, to help you understand and deal with difficult emotions and experiences. With engaging advice and real-life examples, this handbook equips you with the tools you need to thrive and face life’s challenges head on.

move, rest, recover front cover
Discover how you can balance your mind, body, and nervous system with this practical workbook designed to help you create a recovery practice that supports you in performing and feeling better in all aspects of your active lifestyle.

Recovery is the most readily available yet underutilized tool for well-being, the counterbalance to your active lifestyle that allows you to rise to the ever-increasing demands and pace of work, training, and life. This is a missed opportunity that makes you vulnerable to illness, injury, and burnout. Through reflection, writing prompts, and accessible mental and physical recovery tools, Move, Rest, Recover guides you to activate, strengthen, and sustain your own restorative practice. Learn to move through each day more effectively and with more ease, and to use recovery to full advantage by:

 

  • Decreasing stress and tension
  • Absorbing the benefits and gains of your efforts
  • Increasing attentional capacity
  • Managing and solving physical pain
  • Promoting mental stability
  • Boosting your immune system
  • Improving the quality of your sleep
  • And more

 

You can do everything right—curate the best schedule, follow the perfect training plan, and eat all the right foods—but without fully embracing your mind and body’s innate need for rest, and dedicating ample attention to it, you will miss out. Use this book to rest and recover now, right where you are.
