When Anxiety Makes You Angry

When we just deal with what’s going on externally, we miss the whole internal picture

  • Anxiety

  • Overwhelm

  • Anger

Powerful tools to help you manage the anxiety that makes you angry

Using a proven-effective approach rooted in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), When Anxiety Makes You Angry will help you identify the anxiety beneath your anger, accept difficult emotions—rather than fighting or trying to ignore them - and learn healthy coping and self-regulation skills to help you find emotional balance. You’ll also discover how to “train your brain” to stop and think before reacting; and how to choose calm over chaos when faced with the things that trigger your anxiety or anger.

The teen years are full of changes, and sometimes it can be hard to deal with all the worry, uncertainty, and setbacks (without getting angry). But with the right tools, you can take control of anxiety and the difficult emotions it causes - and face the challenges ahead with confidence and a clear head.

When Anxiety Makes You Angry helps kids break free of deeper anxiety, so that anger is no longer necessary

 

“As a practicing psychologist working with teens for over twenty years, and as a parent myself, I’m very excited to see Kelsey Torgerson Dunn’s new book, When Anxiety Makes You Angry, coming forward. With straightforward, engaging narrative and many useful tools, strategies, and exercises, Torgerson Dunn’s book offers kids much-needed support in going beneath the surface of anger to the discomfort and chaotic feel of underlying anxiety. Kids need to be seen for more than their anger on the surface, and they need help like Torgerson Dunn’s book in breaking free of deeper anxiety so that anger is no longer necessary.”
