This series is borrowed from the workbook: 101 Trauma-Informed Interventions: Activities, Exercises and Assignments to Move the Client and Therapy Forward, by Linda Curran, BCPC, LPC. CACD, CCDP-D
Please take a few moments to consider your current state of being. What challenges are you facing at this time in your life, what lessons are you learning/have you learned from this situation, what could you teach others of your experience, how did you get to this point, and what’s next? Finding meaning and purpose in our experiences allows us to view life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and change. We inspire others to have a positive outlook on their difficulties. We develop a sense of control over the direction of our lives and build confidence in our ability to overcome future hardships. Be well, Jennifer
