The Self-Compassionate Teen

"With record rates of stress and mental health issues in adolescents right now, this is the right book at the right time for the people who need it most."—Christopher Willard, PsyD, coauthor of The Breathing Book, and faculty at Harvard Medical School * Christopher Willard, PsyD, coauthor of The Breathing Book, and faculty at Harvard Medical School *
"Few things are harder than being a teenager these days, and perhaps the only thing more difficult (for those of us who are not) is how to speak in an engaging and meaningful way to teenagers. Karen Bluth does a remarkable job of sharing this crucial practice of self-compassion in language and through examples that are interesting, relatable, and compelling. This is a book that teens (and their parents) will find practical and powerful, and I have no doubt that it will ease a lot of suffering."—Steven D. Hickman, PsyD, clinical psychologist, and executive director of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion * Steven D.

"During these stressful times, teens in particular may feel caught up in confusion, uncertainty, and stress. It's all too easy to become overwhelmed by self-criticism and social comparison. The Self-Compassionate Teen lets you take control of your life, while building happiness, emotional strength, and more ease in your social world."—Mark Bertin, MD, developmental pediatrician, and author of How Children Thrive and Mindful Parenting for ADHD * Mark Bertin, MD, developmental pediatrician, and author of How Children Thrive and Mindful Parenting for ADHD *
