Therapeutic RecReAtioN

Today in class we practiced our TR skills on each other. Each group was given a client and based on his or her individual needs, we created an intervention that would give him a skill or experience that would break down barriers and in turn help him improve his quality of life. One group did yoga to teach balance in life. Another group played the "I have ever" game to break down social barriers. Another group had us play around-the-world tennis to facilitate social interaction. And our group did the mine field to improve trust and control through communication. Here are some pictures and a video.

After each activity, we talked about what we learned

about ourselves and how we can apply it to our lives.

And last but not least, Kyrsten and Theo!

This is a video of two of my classmates. Last summer I facilitated the mine field activity every day at Teton High Adventure Base, but today was the first time I saw this method of getting through! That tells you there are plenty of ways to get things done. Way to go, Echo and Sarah!
