What is the theory behind this Patience Therapy Worksheet?
The act of patience requires immense strength. Patience can be defined as one’s ability to endure whatever difficulty comes their way with a calm mind and heart. Patience allows people to wholeheartedly accept their difficulties and plan their next moves effectively instead of letting their situations control them or impact them negatively.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet will help educate clients about the WAIT four-step model that was developed to train individuals to practise patience in everyday life situations. It is a fairly simple model that is easy to remember and which practice clients can learn to always ‘WAIT’ before reacting to situations that make them impatient.
How to use the worksheet?
Instruct the client to go through the information regarding the WAIT strategy as mentioned in the worksheet and try to apply it at least once in any situation which makes them impatient before returning to the next session. Their experience can then be further probed and discussed.
