A visual worksheet for exploring the gap between what we feel and think on the inside versus what we do on the outside — and for introducing the Emotion Brain / Logic Brain (Wise Mind) concept.
Sometimes we do something on the outside but feel and think something completely different on the inside. Sometimes we feel one way even though we know something else is true. This worksheet helps clients put words and labels to both.
Includes a completed example and multiple blank body-figure templates representing a range of bodies, identities, and abilities — designed to be inclusive and to give every client someone they can see themselves in.
Best for: EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed clinicians working with children, adolescents, and adults. Particularly useful for Wise Mind psychoeducation and for EMDR preparation work exploring affect tolerance and internal experience.
Includes:
