Wellness Cards

Over the 10+ years of my work as a psychotherapist, I have incorporated various therapeutic exercises into my sessions with clients.  I have recently created a deck of 36 exercises that I have found to be most effective.

These are practical exercises drawing upon CBT, EMDR, DBT, Mindfulness, and 12 Step Recoveryapproaches for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, anxiety management, distress tolerance, and general well-being. 

The exercises include: daily inventory, the light stream, calm place, urge surfing, HALT, the serenity prayer, worst case scenario, self-affirming statements, love sandwich, a gentle smile, "I" statements, body scan, mindful eating, gratitude practice, angry balloons, and more.

Some of these exercises need to be practiced consistently over a long period of time before you notice positive changes.  Others might give you immediate relief.  You can use them on your own, with a friend or a partner, or discuss them with your therapist.  

As a side note, the images you see are photographs that I took myself. I did not use photoshop to alter the originals. The imperfections you might see on the images reflect our own imperfect human nature.

A portion of the proceeds will be used to help victims of the Ukraine/Russia war.
