When Anxiety Makes You Angry: CBT Anger Management Skills for Teens With Anxiety-Driven Anger

Anxiety can look like anger, like stress, like perfectionism… and regardless of how it looks, it’s getting in the way of everything else. When Anxiety Makes You Angry is a CBT skills book written for teens, to help them really get underneath the surface of their explosive temper.

 
 

Hey, I’m Kelsey!

I’m an anxiety and anger management specialist and I can’t wait to help.

When Anxiety Makes You Angry helps teens dig in, and really figure out what’s going on underneath their explosive outbursts.

I’ve worked for years with kids, teens, and families in the St. Louis area. Hundreds of teens and parents have come to me. Parents report concerns about their teens’ temper tantrums and outbursts. Teens tell me that their parents just don’t understand.

This is a book for anyone who knows they aren’t just angry, they’re overwhelmed. But nobody else seems to get it. It’s for the teens who get in trouble all the time in class, for the graduating seniors who are freaked out about college, for the first-year high school students who are so overwhelmed about doing well that they snap at the smallest thing. It’s a book for you, because you’re here, you’re reading this, and you want to get to work and feel better.

Anger is often masking something else, like anxiety. So when we just deal with what’s going on externally, we miss the whole internal picture. When Anxiety Makes You Angry focuses on a whole area of need that many therapists, pediatricians, and other helping professionals are just starting to learn more about.
