“Susan Albers’s new book, Eating Mindfully for Teens, is the perfect solution to navigating emotional eating challenges in teens. I love the scripts that she provides, the active journal exercises, and her suggestions for movement and other healthier solutions for when teens need more energy, or to calm their emotions. I will absolutely share this with my teen daughter, my clients, and the mothers in my practice.”

“I was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of Susan Albers’s new book, because I knew she had included a section on sleep (activity eight) where she correctly identifies the effect of sleep on mindful eating. In addition, she gives great activities for teens—known to be incredibly sleep deprived—to participate in. This will be a great resource for anyone working with teens and mindful eating.”
