Fighting Invisible Tigers Fighting Invisible Tigers:
Stress Management for Teens
I wrote this book to help young people understand what was going on "inside" when they are at the limits of their ability to cope with their world. They will learn about the "normal" feelings, physical symptoms, and other signals that indicate a person is living too close to the edge. I also describe both long term (life skills) and short term strategies for becoming more stress resilient. There is a helpful section of the book that helps young people know what to do with "tiger bites," what to do RIGHT NOW if they are feeling stressed out, at their limits, and don't know where to turn. Almost a quarter of a million happy customers can't be wrong. This is THE book for young people on the subject of stress.

Reading Level: Young Adult, Revised and Updated Edition, Paperback, Published by FreeSpirit Publishing, Publication date: March 2008, Dimensions (in inches): 0.42 x 8.96 x 6.02, ISBN: 0915793806

Help for the Hard Times Help for the Hard Times:
Getting Through Loss
Adolescents is another word for loss. A time in a young persons life that is just full of losses, large and small. Unfortunately, this is also a time in their lives when they have little experience and understanding of what they are experiencing. This book is my best shot in filling in those blanks.
Help For The Hard Times provides an emotional map of the complicated territory that surrounds all losses. The book uses lots of testimony from others, young and old, who've been there and have valuable lessons to share. It describes the predictable and necessary stages of the grief experience using kid-relevant graphics and language, and offers a prescription for each stage. It's the book that can not only help kids deal with immediate losses, but teaches them about a critical life skill, that can help them grow and mature as a person. P.S. It's a great book for adults too!
Reading Level: Young Adult, Paperback, Published by Hazelden, Publication date: October 1995, Dimensions (in inches): 0.46 x 9.99 x 6.73, ISBN: 1568380852
