Download or read book No Limits written by Jeremy W. Coiner and published by Jeremy W. Coiner. This book was released on 2021-03-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workbook focuses on social and emotional development through twenty-five key points of strength-based exercises. It has the potential to cultivate a deep sense of mastery over ones self and independence from impulsive decisions. Exercises drawn from the fields of CBT, Mindfulness, and Gestalt Therapy are combined with journaling and progress tracking to create twenty-Four solution-focused strategies for empowerment. This workbook will help to foster self-awareness, self-sufficiency, emotional development, relationship building, goal setting, and mental resilience. Further, every effort has been made to reduce or remove any trace of clinical structure to create a more informal and familiar presentation, as well as to provide relevant language and examples, so that At-Risk youth from any background or experience can relate to the material without the feeling of compromising their own integrity as individuals. While this workbook is primarily written for facilitators and practitioners in community-based, residential, correctional, and clinical settings, it can also be utilized by anyone working with At-Risk populations at any level or location. Some of the information and concepts presented within this workbook are immediately recognizable and digestible while others are intentionally elevated to encourage readers to seek clarification. The format and content are designed to be utilized as part of a larger group setting with professional facilitation, however, great effort has also been taken to allow it to serve as a stand-alone instrument for self-study. Finally, the most important aspect of this workbook is that it can act as a complete system or as individual points of focus. This structure forms both unique and collective opportunities for growth because a person does not need to absorb and act on every single point of development offered. Just a few randomly chosen points of focus can bring about immense benefits to their way of thinking and, thus, increase both the quality of their life and their future prospects.
