Here's a product I saw on Pinterest and thought it would be an awesome rec therapy activity!

Materials:

White or Lined Paper

Pens/Markers

Construction paper

Description:

Help patients make a small book using the white or lined paper.  Use the construction paper to make a cover.  Entitle the book "Letter to My Younger Self."

Instruct patients to write down any advice they would give their younger self.  This may relate to life lessons, relationships, etc.  Be as specific as possible.

Afterwards, process with the patients.  What kinds of things did they include in their book?  Why?  How can they apply these lessons in their lives?  How did they learn these lessons?  What would happen if they hadn't learned these lessons yet, would their lives be different?
