Issue and Background: The SMR membership has agreed to an updated ‘Feelings’ slide. The following slides have been brought forth as possible choices. The current slide is offered for comparison. There will be a comment phase, followed by either some editing and voting, or direct voting, or a town hall forum type discussion.
The new slides being offered are all based on Appendix D, found in the ACA publication, The Loving Parent Guidebook, on page 224.
Beyond a new slide, we will need to offer suggestions guiding the Breakout Room Hosts as they work with the new slide. Will there be a new focus to this self care activity? How will the slide be introduced and interpreted? At most, this portion of the meeting will be 9 minutes long – how is the self care activity described in the briefest amount of time? Happily, the script is in review so the changes can be incorporated.
Current Feelings Slide
New Feelings Slide – Version 1
New Feelings Slide – Version 2
New Feelings Slides (2 slides) – Version 3
New Feelings Slide (partial lists) – Version 4
Please VOTE by clicking on one of the following slide versions. In forming your decision, you may read the comments of your fellow members, below.
PLEASE NOTE: If a new slide is chosen, we will hold a Town Hall discussion to determine the interpretive language we will use to introduce the slide in the meeting script and also how the slide will be described on our website.
I like that physical sensations are presented because sometimes that’s all I have to start with! Two slide versions are hard for me to present as a room host, so I would prefer to keep it to one slide.
These are great options! Thank you for those in service who created each of these. I really like slide 3 but I can see how it’s challenging to present two slides so I lean toward slide 2 which has similar information.
I find version one easiest to read, and 2 slides a awkward to present. Easy to read is an important feature fore me.
I love the slide we use currently. I find it very easy to read, and I can quickly to find a feeling word(s). I don’t agree with removing/replacing it.
The self care part is only 9 minutes & no way I can read all the information on the suggested new slides in that time! I wont’ be listening to anyone & I’ll be too busy reading the slide! The one we use now (version one) is great & it works for me!
I appreciate the simplicity of the slide we use now. I am still learning to identify my feelings and being able to name them is the first step. When I name them, I can match what is in my body and/or heart with a name. The new slides feel like graduate school for the one we use. Having to decide if this is a “needs met” or “needs unmet feeling is beyond where I am most of the time. I always appreciate the willingness of the group to explore and try on new ideas and I appreciate the group conscience that lets us make thoughtful decisions.
I appreciate all of the suggestions, and feel that the current slide we use is helpful due to the brevity of the self care part of the meeting. My concern would be having to assimilate one of the newer suggestions in enough time to then attend to what I may be feeling during that time. Thank you.
I like version two. Simple and direct on on slide
After reviewing all options, for me, slide 1 appears the simplest option.
Thank you.
I like version 1. and as a new room host, just one slide please
I really like the formatting of version one but with the addition of the physical sensations of version two. I think it’s important to have the physical sensations as I am often still unsure of labeling my feelings, but I can describe physical sensations. However, I recognize that version two might be too busy for the length of the self care portion of the meeting, so I like the addition of the capitalization from version one. Version three is great and my favorite but might be again, too much for the time given to this part of the meeting.
