During the Fall Quarter at the hospital, we run a group called "Holiday Decorations." Many of the patients get into decorating their units, spending many hours on creative and intricate decorations. It helps them get into the holiday spirit and allows them to share their memories of past holidays. This year, one patient made Halloween jack-o-lanterns with different facial expressions and wrote down the corresponding feeling. Many of the patients have a difficult time identifying and accessing their feelings, so this was a creative way to practice that--and he came up with the idea on his own!
