Expressions of Me — Therapeutic Worksheets for Children & Teens:

90+ Pages of Insight‑Building, Skill‑Building, and Conversation‑Starting Worksheets

Expressions of Me is a comprehensive therapeutic workbook designed to help children and teens explore emotions, build character, strengthen coping skills, and express themselves in meaningful ways.

Created by Chris Theisen — a psychology graduate and former child/adolescent psychiatric treatment provider — this collection grew out of years of hands‑on work with “challenging” youth and was crafted with real therapeutic needs in mind.

Inside this 90+ page workbook, you’ll find an engaging mix of drawing prompts, reflection exercises, emotional check‑ins, behavior awareness activities, coping‑skills practice, social‑skills sorting, responsibility worksheets, self‑esteem builders, and guided journaling. Children are encouraged to express themselves visually and verbally while adults gain valuable insight into the child’s inner world — their fears, hopes, frustrations, strengths, and developing identity.
