A user has created numerous group therapy ideas and wants to turn this into a resource for therapists and clients, seeking input on what is needed in terms of guides and templates for therapy sessions.
I have a 183 page google doc of group ideas I created, implemented and reviewed when I worked at a rehab, leading group and individual therapy. When I worked there, when I worked at a homeless coalition, a domestic violence shelter, a psych hospital (oof that was a doozy), etc I kept making up group ideas, individual therapy worksheets, etc. These other places didn’t add to those 183 pages btw, they have their own docs too. Don’t get me wrong- Therapistaid.com and TakingTheEscalator at this point probably need to charge me for emotional support. But… I just love creating this stuff I’m now an LCSW for an insurance company where they asked if I could make templates for BPSAs, discharge planning, relapse prev plans… baby I said “say no more” and spent two hours past the time I clocked out, no pay, google searching “evidence based articles on effective assessments for …” and creating a relapse prev plan that goes beyond “name three coping skills.” All with a huge smile on my face. Now I might as well do something with it. I want to turn this into real resources for therapists and maybe even clients. To help me figure out what’s actually needed out there: What do you wish you had less of, more of or just different when it comes to guides, templates and worksheets?
