Batteries Exercise: Alternative to Life/Values Compass

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.
