Presenting the Hot Ones Challenge Therapy Worksheets, a unique pair of resources designed to spice up your therapeutic practice. Inspired by the popular YouTube series "Hot Ones," these worksheets integrate the world of popular culture into therapeutic sessions, creating an engaging, enjoyable, and empowering experience for clients.
The two-part downloadable package includes the following:
Hot Ones Challenge: Feel The Burn—In this worksheet, clients are encouraged to list emotions, situations, or experiences they wish to address in therapy, rating them according to their 'spiciness' or difficulty. This encourages a safe and gradual exploration of topics, from mild day-to-day stresses to extremely spicy subjects such as trauma or significant life changes.
Hot Ones Challenge: Cool The Burn—This companion worksheet focuses on coping mechanisms. Here, clients detail strategies they can use to alleviate discomfort or distress from discussing 'hot' topics. The worksheet also prompts clients to identify 'water-based' coping tools - those which might initially seem helpful but could exacerbate distress in the long run, similar to how water spreads the burn of spicy food.
These easy-to-use, interactive worksheets are designed for therapists to use with clients of all age groups. They introduce a playful yet practical approach to therapy, enabling clients to navigate their emotional landscapes and develop helpful coping strategies at their own pace.
Whether you want to shake up your existing therapy practice or introduce a fresh approach, the Hot One’s Challenge Therapy Worksheets provide an innovative exploration pathway. Download today and add a dash of pop-culture-inspired spice to your therapeutic sessions.
Trainings & Resources
Writing progress notes can be confusing and dull. Often times we choose the same go-to phrases, feeling both uninspired and bogged down by the work. Additionally, when we combine Geek passions, it can be hard to convey how these interventions were clinically necessary, meeting client needs and aligning with their treatment plan. In this workshop which was presented at the Therapeutic Applied Geek and Gaming Summit of April 2021, Clinical Director Ariel Landrum, LMFT provided ways to conceptualize what is happening in a Geek therapy session, in order to provide new vigor and clarification to clinical documentation.
Learning Objectives
Write progress notes that are legal and ethical
Identify Geek therapy interventions in clinical documentation
Conceptualizing an intervention through a clinical Geek therapy lens
