Resource exercises for adults

Set of 60 cards with 20-page booklet

• recognise your resources
• strengthening resources in therapy, counselling and coaching


Many people go through small and larger crises during their lives. The spectrum ranges from personal loss to difficulties at work, problems with their partnership to depressive moods and fears. In order to overcome these challenges, it is crucial to mobilise your own resources.

This selection of 60 resource exercises in a practical card format helps your patients to quickly refocus their own resources in difficult situations, to activate these resources with the help of the exercises and, consequently, to tackle the challenges with greater calm. The exercises are divided into four categories:
1. Imagination – with exercises for beginners and imagination professionals
2. Distraction – in difficult situations, these exercises help you to focus on your resources using a targeted distraction, also as a tool for emergencies
3. Resource/Activity – these exercises make sure you can activate and use your resources quickly and safely
4. Mindfulness/Mediation – handling yourself in a mindful way: being in a relaxed state makes it possible to access the conscious and unconscious experiences, attitudes and feelings of your patients

Each resource exercise is illustrated on the back of the card with a corresponding image.
