-I - did this book 5 years ago with SKR my therapist at that time. -I - really loved it. besides doing it the way the activities stated - I - also branched off and made the activities fit what - I - needed for - MY - therapy plans.

For example -

instead of thinking of a problem and drawing a containment box - I - made one using a shoe box, colored construction paper, glue.

Instead of drawing my mental safe place - I - created a 3 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot diarama / scale medel version of - MY - mental safe place.

Basically SKR and - I - changed how - I- was doing the activities based on what - I - needed and what SKR and - I -were working on at that moment.

It made the activities more personal, individual to - MY - needs and - MY - therapy program

- I - benefitted much more from it because - I - could do more variety of things and add more details them what the activities were asking for and - I - found it so much more fun in the process.

For more information on how to make scale models and diaramas see link below.

Please remember that anything containded within my blog is MY experiences My therapy program and so on.

If others have a different experience that is ok.

And since I am unable to know each and every persons triggers on the world wide web I leave it up to the readers of my blog to take care of themselves when reading my blog.
