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: Include a grounding object and a list of 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. self-care calendar, goals, etc.)

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

more HP reread things: the shit you all knew was coming

the very first instance of Harry looking over at the Slytherin table to have a shufty of Draco Malfoy happens after the sorting, i.e. their VERY FIRST night of school. I cannot BELIEVE this. Harry looks over at the Bloody Baron and is like, “he’s sitting next to Malfoy! and Malfoy’s not happy about it! hahaha!!!” that’s the beginning of a puberty-long rabid obsession right there and I’m getting exceedingly misty.

it may also interest some of you to know that Harry then goes upstairs to Gryffindor Tower, goes to bed AND PROMPTLY STARTS DREAMING ABOUT MALFOY. they’ve only officially known each other for like four hours and Harry’s already having uncomfortable dreams about getting his head stuck in something and Malfoy laughing at him. this is day fucking one.

the first words out of Harry’s mouth when it’s announced that Gryffindor and Slytherin have flying lessons together are “typical. just what I always wanted. to make a fool of myself on a broomstick in front of Malfoy.” WHY is that your FIRST THOUGHT when you find out you’re gonna be FLYING A BROOMSTICK? I’ll give you one clue.

“Harry hadn’t had a single letter since Hagrid’s note, something that Malfoy had been quick to notice, of course.” of course? of course??? it’s normal that this 11-year-old boy has nothing better to do at breakfast than stare across the great hall at someone he hates??? “Draco, can you pass the marmalade?” “silence, Goyle, Potter is cracking his boiled egg!”

Harry goes to meet Draco for a midnight wizard’s duel wearing his pyjamas and a dressing gown. Draco grasses Harry up rather than actually going, but can we all please take a moment to picture his face if he’d been there to witness Harry Potter turning up to this epic death match in tartan terrycloth? thanks for your time.

Things that are technically “Addams Family” canon whether we like it or not

The Family owns Central Park and sometimes lives there

We have seen a canon!Female Pugsley

Pugsley’s first word was “Help”, after Wednesday threw him down a trapdoor

Gomez went to Law School and actually somehow passed and also doesn’t know what the fifth amendment is

Morticia was in an arranged marriage to some guy but Lurch accidentally caused his death via toothpick so

Lurch has both a mother and a father and at least one of them built him

Wednesday was once stalked by a cat

At one point the Family had to hold a seance to bring Pugsley back to their plane of existence but stopped halfway through to play Charades with Thing

Morticia’s Mother was the Wicked Witch of the West

Grandmama had a brother named Jester who liked to play pranks

Gomez can be hypnotized by the sound of a bugle

Fester somehow had a baby with the Moon

Pugsley once wanted a job at the bank so he tunneled into their vaults and started counting money for them

The Addams Family have actually met the Scooby Doo Gang; they housekept for them while Gomez and Morticia were on another honeymoon

Speaking of which they canonically have had at least 32 honeymoons

They also banged during a hurricane definitely more than once

Grandmama has a Drug Cart

Wednesday taught Lurch how to dance at least twice

The Addams Family have an Alligator that has changed genders at least once and though that was probably more of a continuity error than anything I don’t care I love the Genderfluid Alligator™

Pugsley knows how to drive

At one point Gomez was voiced by Scrappy Doo

When Pugsley turns “Normal” he becomes an Underwear Intern

Wednesday has set fire to the Jehovah’s Witnesses and also a Camp but we all knew about that

Grandmama ran a Psychic Hotline

There’s a very good chance that Pugsley hatched out of something

Wednesday once had a crush on a boy so she tried to guillotine him

MORTICIA AND GOMEZ HAD TWO MORE CHILDREN AFTER WEDNESDAY AND PUGSLEY AND NAMED THEM WEDNESDAY II AND PUGSLEY II

[breefolk-hates-staff]

I can’t tell if any of this is serious or a joke, and that’s the best part.

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

That summer camp NEEDED to be burnt to the ground okay

[chris-t-human]

“Wednesday once had a crush on a boy so she tried to guillotine him“

completely reasonable response to having a crush on someone

Guillotinine-ing a boy because of a crush sounds like something Louise Belcher would take inspiration from.

I would like to know where is it youre getting these facts from

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

Alright you want sources? I’ll give you fuckin sources.

This is pretty long though so under the cut.

If a ghost can open cupboards and break things, why not just take a pencil, find paper, write exactly why it’s unhappy, and tape the message on the fridge.

[agwitow]

It just became second nature to close all the cupboards first thing in the morning (even though they’d been closed the night before). Which was when things escalated from banging cupboard doors to actually breaking things.

Faucets, door handles, curtain rods ripped from the wall… all the repairs started to add up.

“Look, I didn’t mind having an ethereal roommate, but I can’t afford to keep fixing all this shit. Here’s a pencil and some paper. Just write what’s bothering you–I doubt you could put anything that would be more expensive than having a plumber come out to replace all the faucets again.”

The next morning there’s a scrawl line at the top of the page that devolved into an angry scribbling mess that tore through the page. Two cupboard doors were entirely ripped off.

“I don’t want to get someone in to banish you, but this is ridiculous. Just tell me what you want.”

The second piece of paper is ripped into shreds and several knives are embedded in the wall.

A careful examination of the paper scraps show that it had the same scribbles as the first piece.

A quick trip to the library and a stop at a store later, there are kindergarten workbooks on learning to write spread across the counter.

“Look, I don’t know if you’re just being difficult, but I hope not. So I got an audiobook on learning to read and write, and here are some workbooks for kids–don’t get mad–to teach them their letters. Just press play on the stereo, and work through the books at your own pace. I’ll get more when you finish.”

The first workbook is half-completed before being ripped to pieces, but at least there was no other damage. Replacing it is significantly cheaper than replacing cupboard doors.

It takes awhile, but eventually the workbooks progress to a fifth grade level. These ones are starting to be more costly (they’re bigger, for one thing), but it’s not even the money anymore. Little notes scrawled in a shaky hand appear on the steamy bathroom mirror

Have A gooD dy

Or written in ketchup on the counter (that was a frightening sight the first time)

You R out of MLK

And then one day there’s a message taped to the fridge. The spelling and penmanship isn’t the best, but it’s legible and even signed.

Dear Occupente,

I have haunted this spot for ovr three huner hudre 300 years. My bones are dust and I am fergotN. I do not have wants to trap me. I am here 4 ever.

I am bord. Lonly.

I am sorrY 4 breaking things.

“But I like both old and new songs”

“I also like polka?”

Weird Al:

1. Is very cautious about the effect of his works, apologizing whenever he does something even a tiny bit offensive on accident.

2. Asks for permission from the creators of the songs he parodies, even though he legally doesn’t have to.

[madlori]

3.  Is a straight-up genius; he skipped two grades and graduated at 16 the valedictorian of his class.  He went to CalTech.

4.  Is often upset by the fact that any parody of any song is usually mistakenly attributed to him, espeically the dirty ones because he’s careful to keep his music safe for all ages.

5.  Is a genuine A+ human being, 10/10 would recommend.

[joyeuse-noelle]

6. Is everyone’s goofy uncle.

[salroka]

He can also completely change costumes in about 10 seconds.

As tedious as it’s been having people call me “that Dipper-lookin’ kid” on every video I post for the past couple of years, I think I’d actually kinda regret it if I didn’t play along at least once. The original stone eye of providence has been trampled into the soil by hundreds of children, but the pentagram from last summer remains intact.

Also, I sat on a log and now my legs are covered in sap. Now I remember why I stopped wearing shorts.

[buff-borf-bork]

wait, isnt that the pentagram from that video of the dude following the trail in the woods and heavily criticizing the stone pentagram?

[glumshoe]

it’s the pentagram and the dude

Aishwarya Rai in Silsila Ye Chahat Ka from Bhansali’s Devdas (2002).  The level of glamour and ethereal aesthetics of a girl keeping a lamp continuously lit for her love since being separated in childhood—

[bolma]

HONESTLY thank u all for appreciating my culture, i feel like we don’t get a lot of recognition at all. as a child, i used to feel like the odd one out for loving and admiring people like her. but seriously, indian songs/movies can be so beautiful and have so much elegance..and i think it’s really cool that you guys have noticed that
