Have you ever been in a position when you felt compelled to break emotionally? Do you ever wonder why your emotions get the best of you at times? Have you ever pondered over what the term "emotional flexibility" means and why it is so vital to health? Wesley Holland has highlighted the most fundamental characteristics of creating emotional flexibility in his book, Emotional Flexibility: Essential Guide to Master Stress and Build Resilience for a Better Life. This book not only explains but also teaches the notion of bending rather than breaking.

Is CBT an effective form of therapy for teens? Absolutely yes! In so much as it is a short-term, intensive, goal-oriented approach, CBT has been shown to have significant positive effects on teens for a number of different issues.
