Visual Perspective Exercise Outline

(pairs, 15 minutes total)

1. Remember a troubling image, test to be sure it is still troublesome, and notice your response to it.
2. Identify four specific relevant positive resource experiences and get an image for each.
3. Create a large collage out of these four images, about 3' high, 3' wide, and 3' away from you.
4. Place the troubling image in the center of this, so that it overlaps just the inner corners of the four resource images and lies flat, becoming part of the collage.
5. Notice how your response changes in both quantity and quality. If your response doesn't change, back up in the process and get different resources, or make other adjustments. Switch roles and then share and discuss your experiences.
