morganna: you can add lots of things

how about some coloring books, and crayons?
your favorite book to read?
play doh
a folder with safe pictures to look at when you are feeling triggered or when you are feeling down example: teddy bears or what ever makes you feel safe
a deck of playing cards
markers
art kits
pms from bussers that have helped you or posts that have helped you.
a favorite cd
a mixed tape of songs
affirmations

basically anything that can distract you and that will make you feel safe. if you go to the source board you will find a link about emergency boxes i will tryt o find it for you i dont come here often as i used to but you can pm me if you want more ideas i hope that these ideas helped!

love always maria
