Choose a color for each statement in the key at the bottom of the page, and then color each strength in the heart accordingly. This therapy tool allows you to see how personal strengths have changed over time, and continue to change and develop. I've had clients choose to color while we talk, and seeing how they choose to color the heart often gives us something else to talk about! Encourages emotional learning, self-reflection, and personal growth. Colouring is also a great relaxation, mindfulness, coping skill activity for anxiety or stress.

If you’re looking for a fresh take on back-to-school icebreakers and community building activities, you have to try this hexagonal thinking lesson in your classroom! Students showcase their creativity and show you who they are as individuals by decorating a hexagon according to the prompts listed on the Six Sides of Me worksheet— but they must do so without writing any words— only images allowed! When all hexagons are completed and turned in, students work collaboratively to make visible connections between all students’ hexagons. When a connection is made between hexagons, the similar sides should be placed together to represent their commonalities. Each student’s hexagon must be connected to another hexagon on at least one side. It may not be immediately obvious how some hexagons relate to others, so students may need to stretch their brains to creatively make genuine connections. When complete, the final pattern represents the interconnectedness of your students as well as all the things they have in common. It’s hard to find lesson plans that encourage creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills all at once. Your students will love the opportunity to share who they are (without awkwardly standing up in front of the class to share a fun fact) and will enjoy getting to know each other in a more interactive and authentic way. Download includes a .pdf with teacher directions, student directions, and a completed example hexagon.

Cognitive restructuring is a key technique in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in which clients learn to recognize unhelpful thoughts and reframe them. Research shows that the goal of cognitive restructuring is to help clients break free from automatic acceptance of these beliefs. It is effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. The Cognitive Restructuring CBT Techniques handout serves as a resource that encourages clients to practice this technique in their daily lives. After explaining what cognitive restructuring is, it provides 8 steps to overcome their negative thoughts, such as looking for evidence and doing a cost-benefit analysis. Using the technique with the help of this handout can promote psychological flexibility in kids and teens — meaning, they can respond better to the demands and challenges of life. As an additional tip, parents and caregivers should encourage open communication so that children feel comfortable sharing their worries. Explore our CBT Handouts Bundle, which includes this and other handouts sharing information, techniques, and key concepts. The bundle can be used for self-help or as a supplement to CBT treatment programs. *This item is an instant digital download.

How to Develop Empathic Understanding Counselling – Frame of Reference Frame of reference was first used by Carl Rogers, the founder of person-centred therapy, in 1959. He believed: “The state of empathy, or being empathic, is to perceive the internal frame of reference of another with accuracy and with the emotional components and meanings which […]
Validation in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) means acknowledging another person’s thoughts, emotions, and experiences. There are six levels of validation, and the purpose of these different levels is to allow others to feel understood no matter what they’re going through or how they present themselves. The DBT 6 Levels of Validation handout starts by explaining the purpose of the handout. It features a pyramid representing each level and suggests how to put each level into practice. For example, the lowest level, which is to “Show Interest and Be Present” suggests practicing active listening when interacting with others. Using this handout helps kids and teens improve their interpersonal interactions by showing that they are accepting and listening non-judgmentally. Caring adults can model validation by giving their undivided attention when their child communicates their concerns in school and other areas of their lives. This handout pairs well with our 6 Levels Of Validation Worksheet, which provides an opportunity to practice each of the 6 levels of validation techniques. *This item is an instant digital download.
