Batteries Exercise: Alternative to Life/Values Compass
December 5, 2007 - 6:44pm — Joel Guarna
This is an alternative to the Life/Values Compass exercise and can be used to organize behavioral activation efforts. I have used this as a metaphor when talking with clients about issues that are otherwise a bit abstract: helping connect them to the contingencies in their natural environment. Several clients have appreciated the metaphor as a simple and common language for having this discussion. Attached, you can find it in exercise form. I would recommend doing this after you have done some other values assessment/clarification so the client has specifics in mind for each valued domain.

Greetings
I have just signed up to this group and maybe I am missing something but when pages refer to attachments I do not see anything attached. Am I doing something wrong, not looking in the right place or something else?
