For Therapists & Classroom TeachersHere are three homework tools I created for the couples in my therapy practice. What's great about them is that the lessons they teach about good communication are built into the tools themselves. You don't have to explain any complicated theories, and your clients don't have to understand any. As long as they use the tools regularly, their skills will improve.The Stop StrategyThe Stop Strategy is a free tool your clients can use to interrupt a fight before it gets out of hand.The Art of ConversationThe Art of Conversation is a step-by-step process for talking about sensitive issues without defensiveness or blame. It's free and includes instructions for therapists.The OuchKitThe OuchKit is a set of exchangeable cards clients can use between sessions to help them identify and express difficult feelings. I also use them in sessions to help structure difficult communication between couples. I sell complete OuchKits, and anyone can send individual OuchKit E-cards from theouchkit.com.Let me know how these tools work for you! Betsy
