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.
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

Bought for my masters program but I have suggested this workbook to many counsellors after the fact. I genuinely enjoyed using this book in my program and now after graduating.
