Imagine Being Embraced In Healing Magic

If we never make mistakes, we never learn what works and what doesn’t work. Imagine them being embraced in healing magic from your body to theirs. Breathe in magic for yourself. Feel yourself bathed in warm, healing, magical light. Breathe out magic for another. Imagine them soothed and healed by your magic. Continue this practice as long as you need to and whenever you need to, and know that this practice is not only helping you, it is also helping others around you. Burnout refers to physical and/or emotional exhaustion, which can lead to both psychological and physiological issues. The activity that follows is intended to help clients learn about ways to recharge their own battery as a way of building emotional resilience against burnout. I imagine that most people plug it in to recharge. In a very similar way, we also sometimes need to recharge our own strength. Sometimes we might feel exhausted, scared, or alone when facing different challenges and might need a little break to do something relaxing or fun.

The Power Of One

Think about Superman. Superman is one of the most powerful superheroes of all time. But kryptonite can harm him. This is a substance from his home planet that can weaken his powers. To recharge his powers, Superman must fly toward the Earth’s yellow sun. Once he has recharged, Superman can return to saving people once more. In the same way, when Batman is injured, he sometimes needs to spend some time in his Batcave in order to rest and heal. Imagine what would happen to Batman if he continued to fight the Joker when he is injured, starving, or exhausted. Just like you, Batman needs to recharge his energy so that he can be the hero that he is. When our own energy is running low, we might sometimes also need to rest. This might mean doing something to unwind and relax, such as playing a game, watching an episode of a fun television show, messaging a friend, drawing, or sleeping. This practice is not selfish, it is necessary, so that when we are done, we can have the energy that we need to be able to complete our other responsibilities.

Ignore The Signs Of Fatigue

They are meant to allow you to take a break so you can return to the important tasks you are working on afterwards. For teens and adults, the Batcave could be a specific corner of the room, perhaps blocked off by a curtain. For child clients, it is very important that the family members understand that when their child is in their Batcave, they should be allowed their space and privacy. The same condition applies to teen and adult clients. It might include twinkling lights, a snack, or a music player. As therapists, we can help the client to consider which items they would like to include in their Batcave, when they would like to go into it, and encourage discussion with the family members to allow them to understand the client’s need for privacy when in the Batcave. After spending some time there, he appears stronger and more powerful once again. In the same way, when he is injured or tired, Batman returns to his Batcave to rest, heal, and recover. If you could design your own Batcave, your own space where you can go to spend some time to rest and relax, what would it look like? What items would be in that place? Write out your description of your own Batcave or draw it in the box. What might be some of the situations in which you’d like to go to your Batcave? For example, after a fight with a family member, or when you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or scared. You can either write these situations out or say them out loud. What might some of the rules for your Batcave be? For example, no one is allowed in there except for you.

Defying Gravity

This Batcave is your safe space. You are allowed to go in there any time you wish. When we are caught in the cycle of perfectionism, we miss our opportunity for connection and creativity. Do you try to correct it? Do you avoid thinking about it? Do you get angry with yourself or anyone else? Sometimes, when we make a mistake we might even shame ourselves, and call ourselves names or tell ourselves off. But the truth is that everyone makes mistakes sometimes. In fact, that is how we learn. If we never fall, we never learn to lift ourselves up. By striving to be perfect, we might be missing out on important learning opportunities. You see, perfectionism is the death of creativity. To be creative, you need to allow yourself to make mistakes. Think of making mistakes like playing a video game. With each level that you play, you will face more and more challenges. It makes sense that when you encounter challenges that you have never faced before, you might make a mistake. It makes sense that sometimes if you’re playing when you are tired or hungry you might make a mistake, and that if you’re facing a very big monster boss in the game, you might not defeat him on the first try. If you are willing, please write down a little reminder for yourself below, something kind and supportive you can say to yourself in the future when you have made a mistake. Many gamers are shamed by being told to do something real and stop wasting time. However, what many people fail to realize is that games have many functions. For many people, games function as a way to socially connect with faraway friends and family members. In fact, gaming and game development are some of the largest growing career paths for young people and some universities offer full scholarships to advanced video gamers, in a similar way as they do for star athletes. I’ve had many concerned parents, teachers, and therapists ask me something along the lines of, My child plays eight hours per day.
