Externalizing emotions, thoughts and behavioral patterns with kids

The Emotion Monsters are a set of cards based on the mixmax principle. They can be used to externalise stressful emotions, thoughts and behavioural patterns.

If you put four cards down together, the form a figure, e.g. a ‘rage monster’ or ‘my sadness’. Then you can work together to change this individually designed monster step by step. For example, it is possible, along with cognitive restructuring, to transform the rage-monster-claws into a pair of clown shoes or to dress up agitation in a cheerful T-shirt or a colourful flower hat.
