Lesson Plan

Inner Mirror Strategy

Guide the student to identify and visualize their thought patterns through a metaphorical mirror, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and practice reframing for healthier thinking by session’s end.

This session fosters self-awareness and empowers the student to recognize, question, and replace negative or distorted thoughts—key skills for emotional resilience and coping in a group-home environment.
