The “Emotional Self-Care Assignment” is a supportive and empowering tool designed to help clients reconnect with activities that nurture their emotional well-being and build self-compassion. Trauma and overwhelming emotions can often make it difficult to prioritize emotional self-care, but this assignment offers a gentle, structured approach. Clients begin by identifying emotional self-care activities they would like to engage in more frequently and then track how they feel before and after each activity. Perfect for use in Trauma-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Positive Psychology, this assignment encourages clients to honor their emotional needs, foster resilience, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and balance.
