Why Am I Feeling Like This? A Teen's Guide to Freedom from Anxiety and Depression

One common question that confronts many teenagers is: “Why am I feeling like this?” Pastor and counselor David Murray hears these types of questions enough that he wrote a book on the premise of working through feelings. Each chapter is a real-life scenario from teenagers to help teenagers relate and put to words what they might be working through in their own life. Each scenario is then given a key to understand and a way to turn the key for success. For example, when working through depression the key is to change our thought pattern from: Trouble>Feelings>Thoughts to then reflect this pattern: Trouble>Thoughts>Feelings. This is a workbook meant to be written in, so students can practice ways to manage their anxiety and depression. Each chapter has scripture memorization prompts and a prayer to encourage young teens. The parent’s edition is a wonderful resource as well to read along-side your teens to help understand what they are reading and to handle conversations that may arise over some topics like porn, self-image, and sex. Included in the back of the book is an area to keep notes and process through the reading. Also, there are internet resources found at: www.whyamifeelinglikethis.com. 134 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
