Do you have clients that over commit, feel overly responsible or neglect their own needs to care for others? Guilt is a common feeling that perpetuates unhealthy behaviors, leaving clients exhausted, burnt out and depleted. Unhealthy, perpetual guilt can weigh us down and become overwhelmingly negative, causing inner conflict, turmoil, anxiety, and exhaustion. At its core, guilt is an issue concerning self-acceptance. For some people, early life experiences may lead to the development of idealistic expectations (of ourselves or others), conditioned responses and/or fear regarding the consequences of our behavior (e.g., judgement form others). This may predispose someone to experience excessive, unhealthy, and unwarranted guilt. The Understanding Guilt Handout Bundle consists of 4 handouts designed to educate and guide important conversations and considerations when working with clients plagued by guilt. Help clients to understand common underlying beliefs, rules, values and expectations that perpetuate their feelings of guilt. Workshop factors that may prevent your clients from establishing healthy emotional boundaries and set goals with strategies to assist when it is hard to say no. This Bundle consists of 4 A4 full color notepads with 25 sheets per notepad. Bring color to your sessions and reinforce important therapy concepts with visual resources that clients can take home. Clients love our resources, and you will too! This bundle pairs beautifully with the Boundary Handout Bundle.
