Description
The goal of counseling is to support people as they move toward their goals of managing themselves, their life issues, and their relationships. For helpers and counselors, one way to provide this support is to use experiential learning activities to facilitate the development of new insights and skills.
This book contains a wide variety of counseling resources based on an equally diverse range of counseling theories, including cognitive behavioral, narrative, family systems, and mindfulness. The resources are formatted as handouts that can be copied or printed and given to the person you are supporting. Activities include questionnaires, worksheets, reflective exercises, mapping activities, safety plans, and coping strategies. Most of the resources are applicable to many issues, while others have a more specific focus and can be assigned in sequence so that their insights and strategies build on each other.
This workbook is designed for helpers and counselors to use in the context of a helping relationship, where additional depth and guidance can be provided – it is not a self-help book. By providing multiple resources to draw upon, this book supports helpers and counselors to feel more confident as they support others.
The activities in this workbook are suitable for working with people 16 years of age and older. All activities can either be photocopied or you can access printable PDFs on our website.
The activities are related to the following topics:
Change and Planning
Coping and Stress
Self-Awareness and Self-Esteem
Cognitive Behavioral Strategies
Body and Movement
Breathing
Mindfulness and Calming
Emotions
Safety Plans
Connecting and Relationships
Communication
Conflict
I opened an undamaged box, packed with sealed air plastic bubbles and found a book that looks as if it’s been run over by a car and picked up off the side of the highway. I am not above having used books, I have many used books, but I paid for a new book. I am a mental health professional and keep these books in my office where I see clients, I wouldn’t bring this book into my office. I’m really disappointed with the quality of product I received. I’m sure it’s a great book, but the book I received even feels dirty, I really don’t want to mess with it at all.
Highly recommend for students and professionals
