I hope that the book will be useful to all field experts, especially children and adolescents, and to those who are interested in these subjects.

Since you have started to read this book, we can assume that you have an interest and curiosity in psychology. Psychology attracts the attention of almost everyone at some point because it tries to explain the "me" as a human being. Some want to understand themselves, some their partner, their boss, some their children and some their parents. In other words, the effort to understand people and ourselves in the first place leads us to learn psychology. As in the verses of the famous folk poet of Anatolia, Yunus Emre, which are rosewood in our language, "Science is knowledge, knowledge is knowing yourself, if you do not know yourself, it is a lot of reading".
However, this self-knowledge, self-learning, self-discovery can often turn into a toy in the hands of those who turn science into a profit for their own interests. As a matter of fact, not understanding psychology correctly "Are you reading my mind now?" It may also cause you to become the target of the question. “I am also interested in psychology.”, “We also understand psychology, I love personal development books.” Such sentences will be some of the things that those who will specialize in this field will often hear. So, is psychology really a field that anyone who is interested in can specialize in by reading a few books? I can imagine that you answered “no” to this question. Still, it can be equally dangerous to popularize psychology too much and push it away from science, leaving it only in the hands of scientists and making it elitist. Because science will only be useful as long as it reaches people and continues to develop like a living organism in life.
The science of psychology was shaped centuries ago by the answers given by philosophers to the questions they asked to understand human, and then it was born as a science on the basis of physiological studies. Psychology continues to keep our curiosity alive today, with hundreds of theories and millions of concepts written about it.

The Change Agenda is not an agenda to advise, advise, or incite. Psychotherapy is not! However, while we were preparing this agenda, we took the basic knowledge of psychology and psychotherapy theories as a basis. We aimed to contribute to your reasoning and emotion regulation skills and increase your level of psychological flexibility without overwhelming you with theoretical knowledge, especially by acting on the axis of schools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology and Mindfulness.
We have designed the Exchange Agenda, which can be used by students who are busy with the exam, regardless of their group, from secondary education to university, so that you can use it throughout the year. Although our main aim is to provide guidance and support to students who are anxious during exam and performance processes, there are many exercises in this agenda to improve their ability to regulate thoughts, behaviors and emotions.
While working with this agenda, you will be able to improve your skills of "making worry useful" and "increasing tolerance to worry" as well as "reducing anxiety". Therefore, in the Change A genda, you will find sections where you can discover the causes of problems, recognize the factors that trigger negative emotions in your inner and outer world, and develop appropriate strategies for how to regulate them. Come on, come with us to increase your self-confidence and focus on unlocking your true potential!
