HEY YOU,  YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR SHIT TOGETHER? SCHOOL, WORK, FUTURE, YOUR FUCKING SELF? DON’T FUCKING WORRY ABOUT IT, IN TIME YOU WILL.  AT THE MOMENT YOU MAY NOT BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE AND THAT’S OKAY. MAKE PEACE WITH IT SO YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD. YOU ARE STRONG, BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT AND YOU HAVE SO MANY OTHER QUALITIES THAT WILL GET YOU THROUGH THIS. YOU’RE FUCKING AWESOME AND YOU DESERVE THIS!

I'm not "offended" by the shit people say--I am harmed by it. When you complain about having to be "PC," you are saying that you are perfectly fine with hurting people and supporting cultural systems that cause tangible harm to certain populations.

Don’t settle. Don’t finish crappy books. If you don’t like the menu, leave the restaurant. If you’re not on the right path, get off it.

OH MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING. I just signed in for a sec but I can't not reblog this. I can't believe this.

[childofthefoxes]

You have a nice blog and I like the url :)

Right back at you! And I LOVE your icon!

[childofthefoxes]

Have you seen all of The Belstone Fox? I cried like a baby at the beginning when they were destroying the foxhole and when the dogs got hit. :'(

Yes! Oh my gosh me too. I cried at like at least 50% of that movie. The other 50% was probably me being bored about the human stuff. I was completely in it for the foxes. But it's a really good movie. I recommend watching it if you're okay with slow paced films but serious TW for animal cruelty. I mean, the entire movie is pretty much about fox hunting so yeah. It's like an adult version of the Fox and the Hound.

Coping Tool Kit/Calm Box/Self-Care Package: It is often helpful for clients to have a central place to keep items that will help them cope, and to prevent regression after termination.  I have clients decorate their box and fill it with anything they feel will help to look back on.

Suggested items: 

Distractors: When anxiety first starts to build it is sometimes helpful to do a distractor task to keep anxiety at a more manageable level.  Examples are fidgets, sensory activities, puzzles, brain teasers, coloring/drawing materials, etc.

Coping Tools: Include multiple options of coping tools that help manage anxiety (ex. emotional regulation activities, comforting items, meditation/breathing exercises, etc.)

Reminders of Supports: Photos and letters from family/friends.  Encouraging letters from yourself could also be a nice addition.

Means of Self-Expression: My view is that use of the box for distraction/coping should be followed by some means of self-expression or processing.  Suggestions of items to include are a journal, art supplies/sketch book, etc.

Resource List: Include a list of community resources, referrals, hotline numbers, etc. incase they become necessary.

Grounding Techniques: Write down a few of your favorite grounding techniques to do when needed.  Click here for suggestions.

Therapy Materials: Interventions, work done in sessions, note from therapist, photos of important sand trays, etc.

Self-Care: Include self-care items as well as self-care reminders (ex. calendar, self-care goals, etc.)

Does anyone have any other suggestions for what helps you or your clients?

[psych-student-in-therapy]

This is such a great idea. When I stop seeing my therapist I will definitely make a box like this. Maybe even do so before then, just to have. Along the lines of grounding techniques, keep some grounding objects in the box. Just anything you can easily hold and feel when you need to stay grounded. Some of my favourite grounding objects include objects that were given to me from people who mean a lot to me. My ex and I went to Lake Superior and she gave me a rock and kept one for her and said now we both have a piece of the lake with each other. I like rocks because they have a rough texture and it’s easy to focus on how the texture feels beneath your finger tips. Really, anything with some sort of texture is amazing. Soft, fuzzy things are also really great.
