Review Quotes

"If you're writing for teens, your first hurdle is to get their attention. Your second is to keep it. Dr. Bloodworth does both--her tone is light, encouraging, and respectful. She approaches recovery from many angles--exercises of relaxation, stories about other teens, invitations to write for self-discovery. And she arranges it so you cannot fail. Whatever you think or write is just fine. You can't not feel better by the end of her book." --Thelma Jean Goodrich, PhD, marriage and family therapist

"This book is an absolute necessity for the increasing numbers of teens affected by trauma and anyone who is helping them to survive and thrive. Dr. Stephanie Bloodworth has a gift for making the complex process of healing not only understandable but achievable. This resource is a tool for personal growth, and also an engaging and easy-to-read book that draws you right in." --Dr. Courtney Hart, HR director of compliance in the Lewisville Independent School District
