Mindfulness and Acceptance for Depression

At the Therapy Worksheets Bookstore, check out the Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Depression, by Kirk Strosahl and Patricia Robinson.  It's a "third wave" approach to tackling depression.  Instead of challenging and replacing negative thoughts as in o.g. CBT, clients are encouraged to acknowledge and accept their moods.  The concept being, depression and anxiety (covered in another workbook) are along for the ride, but you're in charge, you don't have to let them take the wheel.

Help for Helpers

From TW sister sites, help for helping professionals:

Building a private practice? Try Where the Client Is, an online blogzine about launching and growing a private practice. Promotion and marketing tips, interviews with experienced clinicians, etc. Also, offers inexpensive web design for therapists.

If you're working toward the social work licensing exam, look at Social Work Test Prep. Lots of useful stuff, including links to free practice exams around the web, flash cards, exam tutoring, and more.

And, for everyone, if you're in L.A. and thinking about therapy, contact Will Baum, LCSW. After a free 15-minute consultation you'll either have found your therapist or gotten a referral to one that's right for you.

Enjoy.

SMART Recovery (Self Management and Recovery Training) is an international non-profit organization which provides assistance to individuals seeking abstinence from addictive behaviors. The approach used is secular and science-based using non-confrontational motivational, behavioral and cognitive methods. Substance/activity dependence is viewed by the organization as a dysfunctional habit (rather than a disease), while allowing that it is possible that certain people have a predisposition towards addictive behavior.

• Identifying and Treating ADHD

PTSD How-Tos

These aren't exactly worksheets--they're "how-to" pages from about.com.  But they're easily cut & pasted.  Soon you'll have more PTSD worksheets than you know what to do with, among them:

• How to Reduce Stress by Deep Breathing 
  
• How to Use Self-Monitoring for PTSD
  
• How to Take a Time Out from Anger

Worth noting:  These skills aren't necessarily PTSD-specific and about.com isn't a therapist.  But try 'em out.

Introduction to Mindfulness

Here's a six-page Introduction to Mindfulness from scribd.com which includes several exercises, among them "Mindfulness in Your Morning Routine," "Mindfulness of Domestic Chores," "Take Ten Breaths," "Notice Five Things." All good and helpful for a whole raft of different symptoms. Try 'em out.

Just what is mindfulness, you ask? From the intro worksheet, a brief answer:

Mindfulness means to deliberately pay attention to whatever you are doing, right now. These pages can be read mindfully or with a mind not fully focused and aware that you are reading an article. Everything except sleep can be done mindfully. We can eat mindfully or we can think about past or future event without paying attention to our eating.

Now, mindfully click that link!

Anger Management Manual

A 54-page Anger Management manual here, SAMHSA's "Anger Management--A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Manual for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Clients." Fifty-four pages! That'll keep you busy (and maybe even help).

Post Flurry

Happy President's Day. Heads up to regulars: I'm about to grab the old "Worksheets on the Web" sidebar listings and give them each their own post. That'll make them accessible, along with all other posts, via Labels. If the links look familiar to you, that'd be why. Enjoy.

Five Misc Therapy Worksheets

At counselingworksheets.com, free samples designed to entice you to purchase their $30/90 worksheet pack. Samples include four worksheets intended for groups: Anger, Feelings, Relapse Prevention, and Step One (of the Twelve Steps). The last is a "Thinking Report Form" which looks--like the others--as if it would work with groups and individuals just fine. It's basically CBT-lite. As ever, let us know how they work if you try 'em. Enjoy.

Self-Help Worksheet Bonanza

Check out the Synergy Institute's long page of forms, worksheets, and assessments tracking, exploring, and quantifying all manner of life problems and solutions, from a Smart Grocery List to a Life Purpose Statement Worksheet to a Life Balance Assessment form. Love them and maybe you'll find yourself subscribing to Self-Improvement Magazine, published by the institute.

(Please remember the disclaimer at right--self-help and therapy are not necessarily the same thing. Need help? There are helpers.)

Yalom Threes

Here, as promised, are a few examples of the three-question worksheets suggested in Irvin Yalom's Inpatient Group Therapy. If you have more and better variations, don't hesitate to send them to me for posting: socialworkprep [at] gmail.com

• Three Job Questions
  
• Three Support System Questions
  
• Important Person/Something Interesting/Gratitude

Three Simple Questions

In his Inpatient Group Therapy, Irvin Yalom has some simple recommendations about group with crisis clients.  They boil down to this:  Keep it simple and keep it structured.  Let clients know up top what you're planning for group, then do it.  

Yalom suggests using a set of three simple, relevant questions.  Have clients write down their answers, then pair off and interview each other.  Clients share with the group what they've learned from their partner.  

I've seen this approach work nicely with dually diagnosed clients.  One favorite, asking about jobs--best past job, worst past job, hoped-for future job.  Usually makes for a lively group.

Depending upon group members general level of functioning, you may consider skipping the clients-interviewing-clients part and just have clients share their answers with the group directly.  But the interviewing offers some good skills practice--listening, remembering, etc.  

Generating sets of three questions is easy enough.  I'll post some examples soon.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a rarity in that it may be more easily understood via a workbook than by its more wordy, academese-heavy basic texts. Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life, by Steven Hayes is a nice intertwining of text and exercises, a solid example of the emerging "third wave" cognitive behavioral tradition.

For those who want to dig deeper into ACT (and its foundation, Relational Frame Theory), try joining the ACT Yahoo Group. Also, ACT workshops, I'm told, are among the most wrenching/satisfying out there. Enjoy.

Cognitive Distortions Handouts

Many have taken a stab at a clean, simple, and easily understood cognitive distortions handout--some are listed below.

I'll add links as I come across them. Feel free to submit your own: therapyworksheets [at] gmail.com.

• Healthymind.com (requires cut & paste)
• Lynn Martin (brief and full versions)

CBT Collection

Just added to the "Worksheets on the Web" sidebar, a nice collection of Cognitive Behavioral handouts, courtesy of Lynn Martin, a Berkeley psych department prof.

• http://www.martincbt.com/handouts.html

My Support System

Linked here, "My Support System - Today and In the Future." Worksheet takes clients through their current and future, hoped-for support system in four areas: Family, Friends, Professionals, Others. Works well in dual diagnosis group--especially with clients with little-to-no current support (provided you normalize having little-to-no support).

Therapist may want to let each group member read answer, then prompt clients re how they might go about getting the wanted support--What are the steps? What are you looking for in a friend, sponsor, psychiatrist...? What are you looking to avoid?

• My Support System (Today and In the Future) (pdf)

DBT not just for BPD?

Running groups in a short-term inpatient site, I've gotten a lot of milage out of Marsha Linehan's Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder. Intended for clients with Borderline Personality Disorder, many, if not most, of the concepts and worksheets in the DBT manual work with clients with a wide array of diagnoses.

Particularly valuable are the Distress Tolerance Handouts, which offer simple, client-friendly coping skills for crisis situations, some mindfulness-based, some not. One example that lightens the mood: Using "opposite emotion" in a crisis by singing Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman." Hear clients roar.
