Brave

Brave is a guide for girls aged 13 to 18 who struggle with worry and anxiety. It is also addressed to their parents, who can use certain strategies to support a teenage daughter, while recognizing that she needs to learn to work through her emotions herself, especially as adulthood nears.

The book helps a girl see where anxiety comes from and why her brain so often seems to work against her once worry sets in. It uses information pitched at teens, stories, and self-discovery exercises, including journaling and drawing prompts. Through these she learns practical ways to push back when worries appear.

The aim is for her to find more of her voice and confidence, and so more of herself. The book is written from a Christian perspective and describes her as a brave, strong, deeply loved girl made by God.
