You are not what you think! For teenagers with negative thinking habits, a licensed psychologist and a health journalist offer a simple and effective cognitive restructuring approach to help you break free from the nine most common negative thinking habits that often lead to feelings of sadness, worry, anger, and anxiety.

This workbook offers a powerful cognitive restructuring technique to help you redirect your thoughts, regulate your emotions, become more flexible in thinking, and stop letting your thoughts define who you are and how you feel. You will learn to target the nine specific negative thinking habits that may make you worry or feel bad, such as the "I can't" habit, the "catastrophizing" habit, the "all-or-nothing" habit, the "overgeneralization" habit, and others!

Each chapter will guide you through simple explanations of each type of negative thinking, providing real-life examples - as well as the behaviors, emotions, and physical sensations that might be expected. You will also gain an understanding of unhelpful or unrealistic thoughts, how to challenge them, how to replace them with more realistic and helpful thoughts, and a plan of action for moving forward.

By recognizing these negative thinking habits, you will feel more in control and less anxious or sad. Most importantly, you will be able to see yourself and the world more clearly. Your thoughts don't need to define who you are and how you experience life. The diagnostic approach in this book will show you how to eliminate negative thinking habits for good!
