Childhood Memories
About This Technique
This room offers a concrete way for clients to explore and express their thoughts and feelings about their childhood by recalling events.
About This Room
This Room offers a way to elicit thoughts, feelings, and memories from a client. The card deck consists of 31 prompts for clients to add pictures or thoughts to their “memory book.” A worksheet, “Finding Closure on Open Upsetting Memories,” may be useful for clients whom you know experienced a difficult or traumatic childhood; however, there may be other worksheets in the Between Sessions Library which might be more appropriate.
Using the Elements in Other Rooms
While you may want to use this Room as-is, you may also want to add the Content to other treatment Rooms. The content can be found below. Follow the directions to add it to any VCR Room.
