What Experts are Saying

This journal is fabulous. Helping children understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours - and giving them the chance to work through their experiences - is powerful therapy. Beautifully designed. Perfectly written. Immensely helpful. Not only do I recommend this book for every family, but I'm giving a copy to each of my girls.

The Anxiety Journal is a wonderful resource for young people to use to learn about, acknowledge and manage their feelings of anxiety. Act for Kids has seen a significant increase in levels of anxiety in children and young people over the last couple of years and a resource like this will be invaluable in helping kids increase their feelings of control and grow their optimism for the future.

    Unleash is a journal – meaning, private and personal to the user – to help pre-teens and young teens free themselves from this terrible scourge. Affirming and interactive, every page sparkles with invitations to explore the thinking, feeling, and behaviours that lead to an over-anxious state. Clarke has drawn on both the tried-and-true concepts of psychology’s behaviourism and also the latest in neuroscience to show the way to a life in which worrying gets its just due, and nothing more. But the good news for readers is that all those scientific concepts and discoveries are boiled down to easy-to-understand language and relatable analogies that stick in the mind. And, while the habits that lead to lifelong freedom from anxiety may take a while to develop, Clarke offers multiple tools for immediate relief:  many borrowed from the mindful breathing techniques that have burgeoned in corporations, schools, and the general population in recent years.  

    There may be a few kids who, upon working through Unleash, realise they want more. Clarke doesn’t shy away from suggesting that, in some cases, a “trusted adult” can be helpful. Those trusted adults – the parent, teacher, counsellor, or coach who is approached – will be very grateful to have such a useful resource as this for any helping work on anxiety. It’s a sorely needed addition to the arsenal of ammunition that we can deploy as mental health professionals. Here’s hoping for the widest possible unleashing of Unleash!
