“Find Your Self-Love Here is a warm, inviting, and engaging journal for teens. This is not blank-page journaling which intimidates. Instead, Lisa begins with simple explanations of self-love and then moves into guiding exercises of self-discovery. Each page is a new creative thought exercise. I have used Lisa’s journals as resources for adolescents in my medical practice for years. They are gifts on the journey of self-understanding and self-acceptance. This is another gem.”

“I have used and loved Lisa Schab’s books for years in schools and private practice. This self-love journal is an incredible tool to help adolescents build an authentic and grounded sense of self. Adolescents face so many obstacles to developing a positive identity in the world of social media and instant gratification. The sense of possibility and optimism in this journal makes change and growth feel possible.”

Find Your Self-Love Here offers a supportive invitation for teens to journal while learning the importance of how thinking not only affects our inner dialogue, but how it changes the brain.
