Empowered by Anger?

[WendyLee]

In therapy we learned that it is a very good thing to identify our bad feelings and how come we got them,,,, and when we are feeling better we need to find different ways to feel better in the future when we are in a bad spot. The therapist says she thinks of being at the beach for a few seconds and that makes her feel lots better, even if she is leading a group therapy session.

When feeling good, make lists of nice things we like to do like sing or watch a silly tv show or look at a funny website. have a bag or back pack or box ready with fun things to do like clay or bubbles or crayons or nerf balls to throw.

the hard part is remembering to look at the lists and do something when we do not want to do anything. and it is hard to remember to look in the backpack and take something out when we feel too bad to move.
