Resources I Use: Stacking Chairs
It looks like a simple game of balancing tiny chairs, but I can use this resource to explore so much more with my clients.
As we build, things wobble. Things fall. Sometimes one small change can throw everything off balance.
And it’s not always about brushing it off and starting again.
The chairs can help us explore what balance looks like in our own lives.
What’s weighing you down?
What makes you feel lighter?
How much time are you spending with friends or family? Are you getting enough time alone? Where does self-care fit? What about school, food, physical pain, social situations or everything else you’re carrying?
Each chair can represent something different, giving us a creative way to explore feelings, mental health and the things happening in our lives without relying solely on words.
Sometimes we don’t need to learn how to balance more.
Sometimes we need to notice what we’re already carrying.
