once more.</span><br />

<strong>PROCESS</strong><br />
<br />
Create a book that reminds you of what makes you happy. You can either brainstorm ideas first, writing them down on a separate piece of paper, or just come up with them as you go along. The book can be one you create, or you can choose an old book that you would like to "alter" (painting the pages, collaging over the pages, putting Gesso down and then writing or painting on the white canvas). This blog entry will talk about the different ways you can create a Happiness Book.<br />

<strong>MATERIALS</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em>Creating a Book</em></strong> = If you are making a book from scratch, choose paper (can be of whatever width you may have handy, or what you prefer - the thicker the paper, the more it will withstand normal use), glue sticks, scissors, markers, ribbon, and a hole-punch.<br />
<br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<strong><em>Altering a Book</em></strong> = If you are making a Happiness Book by altering an existing book, choose a book that may be old or one that the library is giving away or selling. Get gesso to put on the pages if you want to make new pages, or leave the gesso off the page and simply add to what is already there (this can be fun with books that already have a lot of pictures). Get magazines that you like, to cut out images of what makes you happy. Also, use scissors, glue, stickers, ribbon, feathers, glitter, or any other items you think would be fun to put in to your altered book.<br />

<strong>STEPS TO BEGIN</strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<strong><em>Step 1</em></strong> = Clear a space to set your materials. Cut out the size that you want your book to be, and the number of pages. Then, choose which side of your book will have the holes for the ribbon or string to go through in order to bind your book together, then punch the holes in each piece of paper. Before you tie the book together go do step 2 first.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<strong><em>Step 2</em></strong> = Start with your front page. Design it how you would like. Make sure it says somewhere on the front "My Happiness Book". Use the markers to write and put designs on the page, or print out words or images, then cut and paste them on the front page.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<em><strong>Step 3</strong></em> = For page 1, choose one of the items that you have precut out from a magazine or printed out from a computer, or draw an image that represents what makes you happy. Continue this for page 2, 3, 4, and so on.</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<em><strong>Step 4</strong></em> = Once you have filled up all the pages with images, words, and designs that you like, put all the pages together and bind your book. Take the ribbon or string and put it through the holes that you hole punched out first. Tie it up in a bow or a knot. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<strong><em>Step 5</em></strong> = Take your Happiness Book and go show it to someone important to you that you trust will appreciate what you have created. Read it to them, and share about what makes you happiest. The more we share about what is positive in our lives and that makes us happy, the more we will experience being happy ourselves.</div>

"Recently, I began a 10 session Women's Group, based off of Maureen Murdock's workbook "A Heroine's Journey". She uses a great deal of art therapy in her workbook (which I'm thrilled about), and the women in the group have taken it on, completing the directives and coming to group to share about what they have created. This particular activity, the "Spirit Dolls", was incredibly impactful for them. These figures took on a great deal of meaning for each woman that created them, and in some cases the women would make more than one doll. They took all different shapes and forms, each unique and special. It's a very impactful tool to use when embracing a certain aspect about Self, or role created for self in the world."<br />

can be by yourself and relax your mind and focus inward. Ask yourself the
following questions:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

make your doll. You may wish to burn sage, light a candle, play inspiring
music. Give yourself at least two or three uninterrupted hours to begin your
process. Let your doll evolve at her own pace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

emotions, or thoughts on the pieces of paper inside (you can do this in one
session, but often I have found that clients will take several session to fill
the box and will let you know when they are ready to make another entry). It's important to highlight to the client that although it's alright to use words, the more images and colors that are used the more of a positive impact it will have on the client.</span></span></span></div>

struggle with letting go of the pain surrounding a trauma. One of the analogies
that I use with the client to help her in the process of dealing with her
negative emotions/memories revolves around the story of Pandora’s Box. The idea
is that</span><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> if
we open the lid all our emotions will come out (possibly explosively) and we
will be out of control. Most clients seem to recognize this fear as being one they
have as well. </span></span></span></div>

them, "<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">You can take down one box at
a time, open the lid to deal with that emotion or experience and then put the
lid back on and the box back up on the shelf whenever you want."</i>
This gives the client a sense of control and begins to shift her paradigm.

answers, I reiterate that she has the power to do this with her life as well. </span></span></span></div>

wear masks to get through stressful times. We put on masks when we are with our
children being loving and nurturing, at work being professional, and with
strangers to keep them from seeing too much (to name a few). There are
thousands of masks we wear, sometimes all within one day. This directive is
designed to help clients begin to become aware of these masks so that they can choose
what masks to wear. They will also become more aware of what is really going on
behind the masks in order to learn how to deal with them in healthy ways.</span><br />

drawing both the Outside and Inside faces, ask her to tell you about the
drawings. Have a discussion about what she sees in her drawings. Write down what the client says about each image they created and color they chose. (Ask permission before you write or mark on the picture, and then I suggest you do it in pencil.) Make an arrow and then write down each meaning indicated by the client. This will enter in words (which will activate the left side of the brain) and the images (which has already activated the right side of the brain). </span><br />

NOTE: This mask directive can be applied to any masks you want to create with your client. Have fun with it and allow the client to explore the metaphors in masks. You can add sequence, feathers, beads, and anything else the client would like to utilize. You can pick up basic white masks at Hobby Lobby, which make great canvases to make some amazing masks. There are a myriad of ways to create masks. Explore and have fun with it!<br />

clients may need to have something to do at home, or during the times they are
not in the art therapy office. This directive allows the client to have a
resource readily available to her so that when she is feeling stressed,
anxious, or just wants to relax she can pick up this bag, look inside and get
inspired to be creative.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

Inspiration Bag to the client. She is to choose a quote that speaks to her,
either randomly or purposely choosing one. After this she is to create an art
piece that is an expression of what that inspirational piece means to her. (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Note:</i> Make sure to explain that the bag
is not to be opened until the client is ready to do something creative and have
fun. This will set the client up to see it as a positive and possibly intriguing
directive to explore, allowing her to feel more free from expectations and to
also begin to explore “choice” and the freedom to choose.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

although there are structured directives (typed out with instructions on a
piece of paper) she does not have to create something based on these
directives. She can create an unstructured piece of art if she wants, depending
on how she is feeling. This is an opportunity to explain the difference. However,
it is not necessary so long as you emphasize to the client that she can follow
her own intuition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the work created and continue to focus with the client on the process rather
than the end product. Determine whether the client needs more guidance or is
able to self-direct with minimal feedback. Determine continual art therapy
directives based on these outcome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span>Using the four seasons the client creates a short, 8-page book that
outlines where she is in the recovery process and what she has to expect as she
recovers. It can also be designed as a reflection book on the process that the
client has been through to get to recovery from an addiction. This book can be
as simple or complex as you and the client would like to make it (depending on
the needs of the client).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

request to) create a Recovery Book by using blank circles where she can draw
images in herself. This allows more freedom and less structure. It may be
important to begin with structure and then later work towards more freedom.
Each client will be different at different times, so it will be important to
gage the needs of the client at the time of doing the directive.</span></div>

Often, people do not understand how boundaries work. This directive helps to define, highlight, and then create the establishment of healthy boundaries/limits. If there were ever an art therapy directive that makes a HUGE difference, this directive would be IT!</h3>

<u>Concept:</u></h3>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
Knowing
when to say “yes” and how to say “no” can often be a challenge for people. If a
client grew up in an abusive (physical, emotional, sexual, neglect, etc.)
environment, that person may have been taught that it is not OK to say “no”.
The person may have been taught that their body is not their own. In this
directive you will do a simple exercise with the client to begin to explore the
importance of healthy boundaries – identifying what they look like, how they
work, and beginning to implement them in their lives.</div>

i.
There are overly RIGID boundaries… (This person has shut herself off to the world around her/him, saying "NO" to the bad things, but also saying "NO" to the good things in life. This person feels isolated and lonely, at the expense of feeling in control.)</div>

ii.
There are overly WEAK boundaries… (This is where the person cannot say "NO" to anyone. Instead they say "YES" so often that they begin to feel overwhelmed, out of control and unhappy about their lives. They are afraid of saying "NO" because they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, or they don't want to make anyone made, or they just don't think they have a right to say what they will do with their lives and what they won't.)</div>

iii.
There are HEALTHY boundaries. (This is where the person says "YES" to the things that make her feel GOOD about herself, and "NO" to the things that make her feel BAD about herself - regardless if it makes others happy or not!)</div>

Additional Procedure</u></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
1) When
the client is ready, ask the client how the boundary-setting is going. Usually,
there will be struggles. At this point, have the client choose a color and draw
out a circle, first, representing herself, and then other circles that
represent others in her life. Have her show in the drawing how much she feels
each one/thing is in her space.</div>

1) People often struggle with the concept.
It will be important to take it slowly and allow the person to take it at her
own pace. She may need to think about it before taking action on it. She will
more than likely want to come back to talk to you about how it went (i.e.,
saying “no” to abusive or intrusive relationship, etc.) and could get
discouraged with initial results. Keep using encouragements and focus on
strengths.</div>

2) Getting down the details of how this
works is important. Letting the client know that she has the right to say
when/if someone touches her may be the focus. It may also be important to
distinguish “People Pleasing” and how to work on providing self with love
rather than avoiding losing it from others. Each person will have their own “spin”
on how boundaries will look for him/her. It will be important to allow the
client to talk freely about how this process is going.</div>

3) It may be necessary to continue to
reinforce this concept multiple times. Often, this can be such a foreign
concept to people that they only grasp bits and pieces of the full importance
of how boundaries work. Be prepared to go through the drawings multiple times.
You may give the drawings to the client to take home so that she can look at
them and remind herself of what healthy boundaries look like.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 24pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">

4) People often think there is a “wrong” way
and a “right” way to create boundaries. It will also be important to emphasize
to the client that each person is different and however she feels her
boundaries need to be is OK. She gets to determine when she wants to say “no”
and when she is ready to say “yes”. Being in touch with how she feels in any
moment will also be important and many clients have dissociated themselves from
their feelings because of the pain associated with them. You may have to do
some work to help them get back in touch with how they “feel” (i.e., feelings
versus emotions) so that they can begin to see feelings as healthy and also
important indicators to listen to.</div>

people have what is called “Body Dysmorphic Disorder” where they see their
bodies in some abnormal way, which causes significant disruption in their
lives. This can be through an eating disorder, self-mutilation, plastic surgery, constant
dieting or exercising to the point of being unhealthy, etc. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<em>Step Two</em></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) Have the client take the marker and color in her actual body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Ask the client a few reflective questions, such as "What do you think?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Next, have the client take a darker marker (black) and write on her body what she does not like about her body and/or how she sees it today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4) Have the client share about what she wrote and how she feels about her body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5) Ask the client, "After doing this exercise, what do you see about yourself and how you look?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6) Reflect back to the client alternative statements of what you, the therapist sees. Have these statements be positive while acknowledging how the client sees herself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7) When the client is ready, have the client write statements in another, brighter color, that are positive about her body, and about herself.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Note</em>: You may have to work with the client awhile to "take it on", "as if" it were true. Sometimes, just "pretending" can impact the person a great deal, and despite herself she may begin to shift in to another way of seeing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Processing Questions:</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) "Tell me what you see." - "How do you feel about that?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(Note: These next questions are designed for processing when the client has been through the exercise and is now ready to consider alternatives in her thinking.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) "What is a way that you could challenge that belief/thought?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) "Are you willing to see it differently?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4) "Where in your life is the place you feel most out of control?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5) "What can you control and what can't you control?" </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6) "How can you not 'take it (another person's issues) on'?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Outcomes:</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This directive can have a dramatic affect on a client. Client's often will struggle with this process, but once they do it a time or two there is a great deal of positive change that occurs. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This directive increases the sense of control a client has over her body. You may need to work on other control issues that arise in her life, especially with close relationships.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This directive challenges the clients thinking in a subtle, yet powerful way. The client will begin to shift her thinking and open up to the possibility of hope.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Challenges:</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a very intense process and should not be done until both the client and the therapist feel ready.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Allow this process to be client-directed. If the client feels overwhelmed or upset at any time, stop the directive until the client feels ready to proceed. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Make sure to do this directive in a safe environment, where the client feels safe and there is not chance for interruption or of confidentiality being broken. The client will be going through a great deal of vulnerability and will need to trust that the therapist is capable of handling this professionally.</div>

would it look like to write your own story? In this directive the author gets
to transform an old book in to a creative expression of herself. It can be a
way to “re-write” the author’s story, or a way to feel that somewhere her story
is special enough to be “in a book”. Either way, the impact is clearly a
positive one that has the old become a creation of beauty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Pick an
old book that has several pages. Get the gesso out and paint as many pages as
you would like. You can also paint the outside of the book and give it a whole new title/look.
Once the gesso has dried begin painting, gluing, writing, or in any way you
want to tell your story. You can also use the existing pictures<span class="ft"><span style="color: #222222;"> and words that are in the book,
incorporating them in to your designs. However you design the book is up to
you. It is suggested that you choose a theme for your book. You can also look
at it as a diary of sorts, where you make a new page for each new day of your
life. The door is open and you are free to express in your own personal way. </span></span></span><br />

to work with your clients to <em>have fun</em> with this process. There is no “right” or

<strong><em>"Letting It Flow"</em></strong><br />
There are even more web-sites out on the internet that talk about how to make an Altered Book. These books can be highly personalized. People can sketch in them, put ribbons in the, have stamps, pictures that are personal, do collages, paint, and so much more. It really is up to you and can be a great deal of fun when the person making the Altered Book allows themselves to "let it flow". This may take some work with you (the Art Therapist) and the client. Be prepared to work on some deep issues with the client, as they are ready. This is an on-going project/process that you and client may come back to repeatedly. Again, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do this. Enjoy the process, and encourage each person to respect their own process (i.e., not pushing self or judging self).<br />

<br />
<strong><em>Self-Directed</em></strong><br />
This type of directive is an on-going project. It can often take a whole session to do just one page. Sometimes, the client may feel ready to work on the Altered Book. Other times, she/he needs to just "let it sit". Whatever the client feels is best for her in this process, it is encouraged to let the client be self-directed with this process.<br />

<strong><em>Symbolism</em></strong><br />
You might discuss with the client about the imagery showing up in the book. What does that image symbolize to you? How does that apply to your life? Are there some similarities to other aspects in your life? What themes are coming out for you? Are these important themes to you, or are you needing to "let them go"?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<strong><em>Safe Place</em></strong><br />
It is often important to emphasize to the client that your office is a "safe place" where the client can put down on paper (in clay, in paint, etc) how he/she is actually feeling. No one will see it. And, you (as the Art Therapist) will not judge it. It will be there, kept safe, and no one else will see it. Sometimes, the client may want to take the book home with her to work on it or have it close. Although this is temping to do, it is encouraged that the client keep the book at your office to work on it when you are together at first. After you can gauge how the client is doing with the Altered Book process, then the client may determine it is time for her to take it home with her. Creating a "safe place" for her to keep her work is going to be very important for her sense of security while dealing with possibly upsetting topics.<br />

This process developed after doing supervision with Libby Schmanke, ATR-BC. She is a Soul Collage facilitator in Lawrence, Kansas, as well as my mentor and supervisor. After doing one of her Soul Collage Card trainings, I realized that something was missing for me. I wanted to also access words, as well as images. So, I developed my own process. This blog entry will describe a bit about the creator of the Soul Collage Card process, as well as the modification of using words for this art therapy directive. It is my belief that using images accesses the right side of the brain, while words access the left, thus creating more stimulation in the entire brain. This causes more processing and thus more healing.</div>

This Intervention Plan was inspired by Elizabeth Layton, "Grandmother of the U.S.", and Bob Ault, ATR-BC. Elizabeth Layton cured herself of a 40 year clinical depression by doing self-portrait contour drawings with her non-dominant hand coupled with very emotional and personal content.<br />

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Part I –
Drawing the actual portrait, can take anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour to complete. The more
someone is self-conscious or self-critical, the longer this process can take.
Be patient with the person drawing the picture and let him take as long as he
needs. Give unconditional support and encouragement where needed.</div>

Drawing the images around the self-portrait, usually goes faster for the artist
than Part <st1:place w:st="on">I.</st1:place> This process takes about 30 minutes to complete. Often
the artist will want to write
words instead of images. Encourage him to draw the images that go along with
these words. The power of the images can be more significant than the words
themselves. They can put in to form what words cannot describe.</div>

Creating self-portrait drawings in
this way helps to process and then release emotion and stress/anxiety related
to a particular memory or experience. The more detailed these drawings become,
the more processing and release occurs.</div>

person who will be drawing. Put the paper directly in front of the drawer. Give
instructions on how contour drawing works. Have the drawer switch to using
their non-dominant hand for this part of the procedure. Using a # 2 pencil,
draw from the top of the head all the way down to mid top-arm (a bust). Ask
them to go slowly, take their time. Explain about the ‘inner-critic’ and how
for this process we ask the drawer to put it away or let it go. Also, ask the
drawer to think of a stressful issue or anxiety-provoking thought while drawing
self. Point out the lines that are on the face (this may be necessary only at
first.)</div>

art can be stressful sometimes. That is why making a “little piece of art” may
not be so overwhelming. In this directive you will decorate a baseball-sized
card that you can trade with your friends, family, or even acquaintances from
around the world.<br />

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Take the
card stock and cut it in to rectangles of <span class="ft"><span style="color: #222222;">2 ½ x 3 ½ inches (63 mm X 89 mm). On one side, glue
images from magazines for a collage or paint/draw what you would like; creating
a little piece of art. On the back side, give the card a “Title” at the top,
and then a description of what the card means to you, under the title.
Personalize the theme so that it is something special or important to you.
Finish the card by placing your signature at the bottom, along with the date.
Either keep the card for your personal collection or trade it with someone else
who is doing trading cards also.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Concept:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
Making objects with Shrinky Dinks
can be useful in communicating how problems can shrink, or get smaller.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They can also be used for self-symbols and/or
how they are feeling for that day/time.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Suggestions for Directives:</u></strong><br />
<br />
1) Ask the client to create a personal symbol.<br />
2) Have the client create an image that symbolizes an issue he/she would like to "shrink".<br />
3) Make some images that would look good on earrings or other jewelry, to increase self-esteem.<br />

be.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> 2)</span> You may ask the client(s) to write
down a few ideas he/she has for what his/her
self-image could be.</div>
<br />
3) Have him/her, or take a few
moments to think of the self-image that best resonates with him/her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can also suggest that he/she <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">allow</i> the image to unfold without trying to plan
it out ahead of time.<br />
<br />
4) Have the
client(s) make the self-image (and/or feeling symbol or symbol for his/her
problem(s)) by introducing the Shrinky Dink sheets and asking him/her to follow
the instructions and ask for help when/if needed.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Part II:<br />

him/her use whatever materials he/she would like to finish making
his/her self-image/feeling symbol/problem symbol.<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Concept:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Sometimes
we get “stressed out”. Life can be busy and full of challenges. We may begin to
feel like we have no way to relax or reduce the tension that builds up during
the day. This activity is designed to help reduce stress and is done through
making a “Stress Doll”. Instead of holding the stress, you get to take it out
on the doll. This is done through manipulating it, playing with it, or just pounding
it on the table.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Procedures:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Take the
wooden stick and create a body shape using the pipe cleaners for arms and legs.
Begin to wrap the body with the string or yarn you have. Create a shirt,
skirt/pants, and hair. Cut out a circle from the paper and draw a face on it.
Glue the face to the head of the doll. Add whatever details you would like that
will give the doll the personality you want.<br />

<br />
<strong>Intention</strong> - This directive is designed to assist the client in drawing a line between what is "bad" in their lives and what is "good" in their lives. It also helps them to have a visual representation (and begin to conceptualize) the idea that they can "put a lid" and "contain" their negativity. <br />
<br />
<strong>Population</strong> - This is good for any population, but especially good for those who have been traumatized or experienced some kind of loss.<br />
<br />
<strong>Materials</strong> - Magazines, Scissors, Glue, and Shoe Box (or another box with a lid)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 1 - </strong>Have the client pick out a box that they like (shoe boxes are perfectly - something with a lid). Then, have the client cut out images (in magazines) and/or words that are both "bad" images and "good" images (images that he/she feels drawn to). <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 2</strong> - When the client is ready, have him/her glue the "bad" (or negative) images in the center or inside of the box. Then, place the "good" (or positive) images on the outside of the box.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 3</strong> - Ask the client to share about each image/word chosen and what it symbolizes for him/her. Process whatever issues show up at this time.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Note</strong> - Make sure highlight the idea that each person has the ability to put the "lid" on to the negative things any time they want, taking off only when he/she is ready to deal with or work on. These concepts are very fundamental to introducing the idea of how to begin to establish healthy boundaries with self, and finding healthy/appropriate ways to deal with pain memories/emotions.<br />
<br />
<strong>Suggested Questions</strong>: <br />
1) How does it feel to be able to put a "lid" on the negative stuff?<br />
2) What are the positive things going on in your life/what are the positive things on your box?<br />
3) How can you begin to "put a lid" on your negative emotions at this time? What are some skills you can design or put in place?<br />

<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Description:</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This activity is good to break the ice with any client. It is also an easy “check-in” to find out how the client is feeling and the issues he/she is dealing with at this time in his/her life. After creating a pie chart with 8 sections, the client gets to choose 8 emotions and then color in the pie pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Outcome:</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This exercise is designed to have your client open up and feel more comfortable expressing his/her emotions/feelings, and establishing rapport/trust with you!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Questions to Ask Client:</strong> </span><br />
1) Could you tell me about your Emotions Color Wheel?<br />
2) What had you choose that color/design for that emotion?<br />
3) Where else in your life do you experience that emotion/feeling?<br />
<br />
Note: Use affirmative statements with the client. Always acknowledge the client's positive qualities and work with the client to notice their own ability to create beauty/something of importance/value.<br />
