An Open Letter to Professional
Counselors and Therapists

As a counselor or therapist, you are there to guide parents, teens, and families through life’s most difficult challenges. Your important work is heavily dependent on helping your clients gain awareness of damaging or ineffective thought patterns they aren’t aware of.

Own It! can be an invaluable partnering resource within your own work, allowing you to achieve faster results by creating a framework of understanding that promotes personal behavior accountability and emotional responsibility.

The Own it! Curriculum

Own It! is a powerful resource to help your young clients understand the connection between their
thoughts and their current results. In this 10-module course, we help
teens gain awareness of their thoughts, teach them how to process their emotions and take
responsibility for them, improve their communication and connection,
and develop emotional intelligence, empathy, and resilience.

This 10-module course gives teens instruction and skills practice in two critical areas:

As a counselor or therapist, you will immediately understand the nuances in this video clip.

How many times have you seen these thought patterns play out in the lives of your clients?

Imagine how empowering and helpful it would be for your clients to see how these concepts impact our outcomes.

A Fun Way to Teach Life-Changing Concepts

Each of the modules are presented in a clear, fun, engaging way. Using humor, videos, and highly interactive lessons,
they teach teens the power in true self-awareness and how they can channel it to positively impact
how they think and how they process emotion.

The concepts and techniques taught in Own It! are not part of a traditional school curriculum and are not widely
understood, but they have the unlimited potential to shape and change a young person’s whole
life and allow them to create the future they want.

A Poweful Tool for
Counselors and Therapists

Own It! is not just an exceptional empowerment course for youth. Own It! offers a way for you, as their counselor, to gain additional insights into the inner lives of your teenage clients and help them understand themselves better—how they learn and process information, their personal socio-emotional skill set, and how to use their strengths and abilities to solve problems.

As part of the program, each student receives an in-depth personal profile that will give you valuable understanding into how they think, how they learn, and how they process the world around them.

Each student’s personal profile will identify their:

new-personal-profile_01

The personal profile is a highly-specific, tangible tool that will show you what your young clients excel at and allow you to know more about their views, opinions, and interests.

The profile also gives you additional talking points for creating greater rapport and comfortable conversation. Their answers to the Reflection Questions in the profile can be especially valuable in helping you customize your counseling and teaching.

The personal profile can be an incredibly significant resource when counseling families. Experience has shown that families who complete the personal profile together can better understand each other.

They learn one another’s communication styles, interests, values, motivations, emotional responses and strengths of each member, creating more empathy and acceptance and improving family relationships.

"Helped the youth to overcome their thoughts"

shelley-bogus

Far too often, we find that our youth have the cognitive and physical tools to be successful with their education, employment and independent living, however other barriers precluding their success. Many have experienced past trauma and have witnessed years of abuses and poor social emotional regulation. Their thinking patterns are frequently counterproductive and present them with overwhelming obstacles. We work intentionally with these youth to overcome the thoughts in their own minds, but our thoughts can be the most difficult enemy to concur.
