This course explores a range of sensory activities which can be used both for:
- individuals looking for personal coping tools or to enhance personal wellness; and
- professionals looking for options to use with clients.
Professionals often use these techniques to assist clients to remain connected to the present, and help them avoid distress, memories, flashbacks or intrusive thoughts that they can’t yet cope with. The activities introduced are easy, safe, low-cost and most are suitable for children or adults.
The tools can be especially helpful for people who experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, dissociation, along with those with experiences such as trauma, recent bereavement or chronic illness.
