Inhaltsangabe

Leo Roars: A Brave Lion's Guide to Beating Panic Attacks is a therapeutic storybook for children aged 8-12 that blends a heartwarming narrative with evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Designed to help children understand and manage anxiety and panic attacks, this illustrated chapter book also equips parents with a structured and child-friendly mental health resource.

Leo, once the bravest lion in the jungle, suddenly loses his roar after a panic attack leaves him frightened and confused. With the support of Wise Owl and Elephant, Leo embarks on a journey to learn what's happening inside his brain and body. Along the way, he discovers CBT-based techniques to regulate emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and take brave steps toward recovery and confidence.

Each chapter includes therapeutic prompts, discussion points, and practical exercises-making this book ideal for use at home, in schools, or in therapy settings. The language is accessible for children while remaining clinically grounded, thanks to the author's expertise as a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist, EMDR Consultant, and Director of Capital Psychotherapy.

Endorsed by Dr. Judith Beck, world-renowned psychologist and President of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy:

"Leo Roars is a wonderful book for children who experience intense anxiety and panic... It equips them with the tools they need to reduce their anxiety and thrive."
