Therapy first-aid kit

feel like SI? work on a therapy kit instead

feel free to add your fav piece of therapy kit... give eachother ideas or tell about the one you create.


do you know what a theraphy first-aid kit is?

1. you get a box (fun to decorate) or a packback (convient pockets).

2. write down your crisis and friend phone numbers.

3. make a list of activities that soothe and distract you (like music, a walk, feeding the ducks, poetry).

4. have a special snack handy (important for your blood sugar to get level and commfort foods like chocolate or fruit).

5. add stuffed animal (like a really soft fuzzy bunny), color pens, paper etc., and also distracting things like a deck of cards, photo alblum/scrap book, to work on.

6. journal books, and favorite pictures... etc.

7. bible scriptures and bible... (make book markers of fav scriptures).

this should be stuff you turn to first. xo dee

Philippians 4:4-9
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

put your therapy kit where you sneak off to selfharm.
replace a therapy kit for your stuff used to harm yourself.
PRACTICE practice practice... you are worth it!! xo dee

make it an art and craft project.

at one point i had two kits... lol. one was for me in a artsy mood, and the other a more thoughfully list of things to do... like going to feed the ducks. snacks, music, bubble stuff. so one kit was things to do, and the other was to take out and find things to do.
