I see lots of students who struggle with stress and various types of anxiety. I recently purchased this inexpensive card game to use in individual sessions. The cards and spinner (wheel) can also be used in emotional regulation groups. The deck is 101 cards to hep kids and teens change their irrational automatic thoughts to thoughts that are realistic and helpful. This is a skill that needs practice which is what this game is designed to do. The Wheel of Relaxation is used to help players practice relaxation and self-calming techniques so that they can more easily face their fears. The spinner can also be used as a stand alone tool. If you don't have a similar game in your office already, this is one you might want to purchase.

ReplyDeleteThe good news is that you can learn how to do stress management so that it doesn't control your life. You have choices about how to respond to stressful situations and how much time you spend on them.
