Imaginary Life Coach.
Many neurodivergents are intimately familiar with the power a supportive presence has to unlock our brains when they are inexplicably locked up. But sometimes no one is available, or you want to be more independent, or Undyne and Alphys are just better company than the available options.
These worksheets are the pared down version of a more elaborate physical sticker/magnet kit, which is still under construction. In using the kit to address my own procrastination, I found myself becoming especially attached to one particular character, and increasingly eager to see his face when I felt stuck and stressed.
Far from being a sign of immaturity, imaginary friendships can be a great way to connect with your own hidden wisdom and other strengths. Imagining someone else looking at our situation can help us feel more prepared and see things differently.
The Imaginary Life Coach worksheet set is not so different from other planning worksheets, except it is guided by a character of your choice. It is intended to be printed out, either after adding pictures or with blank spaces to draw your own. (Note that if you don't have a home printer because you live in the 21st century, your local library will usually offer a free printing allowance.)
There are several versions of the worksheet set.
Digital Version 1 (free) allows you to click the image (on your computer, unfortunately most mobile PDF readers are not compatible at this time) and insert one picture that will then fill every slot.
Digital Version 2 (premium) allows you to insert a different picture for each slot.
Digital Version 3 (free) allows you to print the worksheets with blank spaces for drawing.
Physical Edition includes dry-erase worksheets with pockets for character pictures.
Coming soon:
Premium versions that allow you to customize the text.

I welcome any feedback on how to improve this tool, both ways that the design could be better and technology I might not know about. It is also incredibly helpful for me to hear what worked well for you as that will guide me in creating future resources. You can send any notes to lucas.harrington.psyd@gmail.com
