Tree of Strength
Fill out the following diagram to help remind you that you have
strength to pull from, even when you're feeling your weakest.
For the root area, write what "home" is to you. This doesn't have to
be your family or where you're actually from, but things, people,
or places that give you a sense of belonging and safety (e.g. your
place of religion, when you're walking in nature, your best friend).
Beside the trunk, write some of your personal strengths and
skills (e.g. resilience, self-awareness, ability to express yourself,
creativity).
Beside the leaves, write some activities you enjoy or strategies
to help you cope (e.g. biking, dancing, cooking, writing, puzzles,
baths).
For the branches, write some external resources or supports you
can reach out to (e.g. trusted people in your life, local community
groups, specific mental health services).
