I love it. The accordion book for grief Counseling is such a great idea! Thanks for the video ♥️

You are so welcome, I would make one on your own 1st and use it as a sample so you are prepared to make one with a client.Quenby

Thank you for your share! Going to use this idea to make cards with my kids for my grandma in a nursing home!❤

[@thegratefultherapist]

Great to see you on this channel , what a fun surprise. I know...you can use books for anything, everyone seems to love them, but some new counselors just don't know about them if they don't have experience with kids. xo

Thank you!

Very Informative.

Thank you I appreciate your comment Quenby

Hi, thank you for your helpful videos and ideas, they are much appreciated. Can you please advise on how to work with male teenagers 15yrs above; who don't open up much and find it difficult to explain how they are feeling. Thanks in advance x

[@thegratefultherapist]

first, watch my video on How To Help Teens Actually Like Therapy. Those are the best general tips I have. With Male Teenagers, I engage them in dialogue about what they like. if they are into wrestling, I learn all about wrestling. If they are a videogamer, I learn all about their games. I provide paper and drawing tools so they can draw or doodle while we talk about family or hard stuff. Quenby

[@thegratefultherapist]

OH yeah, and my question cards are KEY

[@farihahassan5474]

[@pamwright9900]

What size paper do you use in the accordion style book?

Any tips on working with teens/adolescents through telemed?

[@thegratefultherapist]

Hi Liz, I currently do most of my teen session over video. I have a video on tips and ideas for tele-health with teens and kids, so check that out and let me know what questions you have. xo Quenby

@@thegratefultherapist Thank you 😊

[@lidiasantosa5346]

Hi,thanks a lot, your channels are so helpful. But I wonder does it apply to teens who do not like crafts and sort. In that case, what should we do then?Thanks before

[@thegratefultherapist]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you. I have yet to meet a teen who will not do any art or crafts or just use the art supplies i have laid out on the table. They may not call it "art" but they can't help but pick up the markers and doodle, or play with the stamps. Quenby

[@kathryn20x]

When they are making the bits for the book do you help them or talk to them , or make your own art?

[@thegratefultherapist]

I definitely talk to them while making the books and help them with whatever they need. That said it helps them if I am also doing a little something of my own. It seems to take the pressure off, esp with a shy or reluctant teen. I am attentive and my focus is on the teen, but i might be making something too. Thanks Quenby

[@shirleyfantauzzi8993]

In the end does the book stays with you or with the client ?

[@thegratefultherapist]

The Client gets to keep their own book. If for some reason they wanted to leave it with me, of course they can, but it is theirs to choose what they want to do with. 🌸🌷🌷 Quenby

[@min1797]

Do these also work for male teen clients?
