I have to say I'm very impressed with the sudden surge of mental health resources being geared toward teens. I love that teens are being provided the tools to take charge of their lives and empower themselves.

There was great material in this book. It broke down the science of things without being overwhelming. It also provided stories/interviews with real teens and young adults who explained how they used the tips in this book to manage their anxiety.

The tips were simple when you looked at them, but they made so much sense. The biggest one that resonated with me was the one about your comfort zone. Sometimes being in your "comfort zone" can be lonely--that really stuck with me because it made me realize that was kind of how I was feeling at the time. I'm an introvert who tends to stick to what I know. I'm reluctant to try new things and often get really anxious about changes so I avoid them altogether. Yet, around the time that I was reading this book I was feeling restless in a way I couldn't explain until I read that chapter. I realized I had an urge to do things differently. I was tired of my usual routine. Honestly, that chapter is what pushed me recently to try and overcome my driving anxiety and it's the first time I feel like I'm actually succeeding at it.

Other chapters also went into detail about how to deal with conflict in your friend group and how it's good to distance yourself a little from social media. Both of these were really great sections and I loved them! Personally, it took me a long time to understand why I didn't like social media as a teen, but this book explained it perfectly. It went over the damaging way people compare themselves to others and how mentally draining it can be. I think it's so important that teens know that in today's world where social media is so integral to our lives. Plus, it takes time away from really connecting with the friends and family who are your support system.

All in all, this was a solid book perfect for any teen looking to grow and be more confident with themselves!

The Teen Girl’s Anxiety Survival Guide by Lucie Hemmen is another great mental health resource from New Harbinger. This guide provides useful information for therapists to incorporate into their practices when working with teenagers or for teenagers benefit from if they are struggling with anxiety. #TheTeenGirlsAnxietySurvivalGuide #NetGalley

Many teens and adults understand what it is to deal with anxiety, and this book was a great guide that gave simple and clear steps to help conquer the anxiety. I didn't learn how to control my anxiety until I was well into my 20's, and many of the steps I now take were included in this guide. This is a book I wish I would have had when I was younger, because it is a great aid to anyone who is just learning how to deal with their anxiety.

Ugh. I wanted to love this book.
Hell, there are definitely some things that make it worth reading.

But, no, Anxiety is not a gift!
Yes, normal levels of anxiety is good. We feel anxious when we sense danger.
But, anxiety disorders, social anxiety, panic attacks, etc, are NOT A GIFT!

Attitudes like that will not help those who truly need help.
I have two kids who have severe anxiety. I would love to call it a gift and force it away. But it doesn't work like that.

This was very helpful in working with my adolescent clients. As a social worker it’s great to have resources available to help clients with anxiety.

I read this with my teenage daughter and we both loved it. I liked that it’s a guide to help teen girls sort through their anxiety and find ways to get through it. As someone who has suffered from anxiety for ,most of my life I found that there were tips that I could also incorporate to help me as well. My daughter said she liked it because it was easy to understand and not confusing at all. She also loved the examples from real girls and said their stories made her not feel so alone. There are quite a few ideas that she’s eager to try out. We both feel like this is a great book for teen girls or anyone who suffers from anxiety.

This workbook provides good recommendations with solid descriptions of how to put them into practice. I love the chapter on self-care as I think this is something that is so often over looked in society as a whole. Elements of CBT are described well and in simple enough language that teens will easily understand the concepts and be able to put them into practice on their own. This is a good workbook for counselors to add to their libraries.

Thank you NetGalley and New Harbinger Publications for the advance e*book edition of The Teen Girl's Anxiety Survival Guide by Lucie Hemmen. The advanced copy is in exchange for an honest review

This is a real thought out book written in language that can be easily understood by young girls who suffer from anxiety. The author gave a realistic explanation of anxiety and did not overwhelm with techniques to help. She gave 10 skills which is a realistic number.

My only downside to the book is the title, I would have preferred the book be titles for "Teens" and not girls. The wording in the title could make people who a could benefit from its contents, instead hesitate to pick it up. In a society with so much pressure and stress on our youth and all forms of mental health concerns on the rise, the limited title makes me give the book 3 stars. The same exact book with TEENS rather than GIRLS would be a 5 stars rating

I have been reading a few books on anxiety, but few are as practical for a teen audience as this book. Let me talk about what works.

First, offering teen girls 10 practical strategies. often times, as a parent navigating these books, the lessons or "help" is not readily apparent. What I am seeking in working with my teen girl is practical advice that does not require me to be a therapist myself. This book is user-friendly, and easy to navigate. My daughter and I had fruitful discussions about the book, and for that I am so grateful.

I suppose there is one thing that (though it is no fault of the author) grate on my nerves. It exhausts me that self-care is used too often. Making that term a major tenet of a book to help a teen girl cope with anxiety is problematic. Again, let me reiterate that this is a personal statement. Self care means so many things, and can show up in a lot of ways. Sometimes self care is sleeping when you are exhausted by life and stress. Sometimes self care is leaving toxic relationships.

That being said, thank you for an early copy of this book. I truly appreciate the practical, helpful advice.

As someone in their early 20s who deals with a lot of stress, I was curious to see if this book was able to provide some insights.

Overall, I thought this book had a lot of the understandings that teenagers usually are very self-aware of these issues that feed into their anxiety. The interviews with teenagers were a nice touch. I liked the small "Nerd Alert" and "Noodle This" sections, especially when they recommended TED talks or other interesting resources that could be explored if the reader wanted to.

However, what bothered me was how the word-choice of the book sometimes felt a bit too much like the authors were trying to be relatable to teenagers but overshot into a bit of a condescending tone. I cringed while reading the sentence "Can you just see the fat boo‑boo in that kind of thinking?", and I'm the kind of person who wouldn't hesitate to use the type of casual slang that most of the book has. This happened a few times in the first half of the book, which is enough to be memorable, so one star off for that. Otherwise, a pretty good book.

A thank you to New Harbinger Publications and NetGalley for this ARC!

Conversation, practical, and right to the point. I’ve been recommending titles in this series since the pandemic began, and this latest teen mental health guide is hitting all the right notes. The short length and quotes from teens make a this book approachable for young adults who are struggling.

This a great supportive text for teenage girls who want to learn more about managing anxiety, either independently or in tandem with therapy. The Teen Girl's Anxiety Survival Guide is written in a conversational style which will likely most appeal to younger teens, but older teens and young adults would likely also benefit from this guide.

This guide does a great job of providing accessible and developmentally appropriate psychoeducation about anxiety including the role of the brain and the body, and blends techniques from lots of different modalities. Where this book really shines is through normalizing and validating with voices of teen girls, and in its discussion of academic and social anxiety.

As a therapist who works with adolescents, I could think of at least a half dozen girls that I'll be discussing this book with once it's published. I can't wait to add a finished copy of this to my bookshelf.

One note: this is very much a guide rather than a workbook, and likely won't appeal to teens who don't like to read or prefer a more hands-on approach to learning.

I think this guide had some really helpful tips and I liked that it included quotes from real girls who have experienced anxiety and were willing to share their stories.
As someone with anxiety, I was really interested in reading this and hopefully finding some healthy coping mechanisms. This guide was able to provide a new perspective to view anxiety with and change my mindset on how I approach situations that typically make me anxious.
I found this to be very helpful and I think what I have learned will come in handy for the future.

Despite being in my late 20's this book was such an insightful read for me.

It is very well written and a lot of it definitely hit home with me.

I would recommend to anyone who suffers from anxiety as this is a relevant read for all ages

Its a very good book to learn about anxiety by teenage girls. But also just anxiety it self. I learned a few thing about this and om sure i will use some of the stuff later when i have a teenage girl.
