I\u2019d like to be able to talk to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steve<\/strong> \u2013 Ok, if you remember, last time we were at the stroke club I was speaking to Sandy and she was telling me about something that she\u2019d tried and she\u2019d said she\u2019d found it pretty useful. She called it emotional touchpoint cards. I\u2019d never heard of it. What you do is you get cards with lots of words, or you could use pictures, and use them to help describe how you feel and to talk about your feelings with other people. Maybe we could give that a go?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sue<\/strong> \u2013 yeah, lets try that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Scene with cards on the table showing the words: anxious, moving on, stuck, loved, happy, lonely, involved, dependant)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sue<\/strong> \u2013 ok, so what do we do now?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steve<\/strong> \u2013 what Sandy said is to take a moment to think about how you\u2019re feeling and then you pick a card and you just talk about why you picked that card.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sue<\/strong> \u2013 Ok.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Sue picks up the word anxious)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Steve<\/strong> &#8211; why did you pick that one?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sue<\/strong> \u2013 I picked anxious because I feel anxious about telling you how I really feel (they both laugh) <\/li>\n<li><strong>Steve<\/strong> &#8211; go on, pick another<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Sue picks up the word dependent <\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sue<\/strong> &#8211; I picked dependant, sometimes I feel I have to rely on you for so much and I feel as though I am a burden to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steve<\/strong> &#8211; You\u2019re never a burden Sue, I like caring for you.  Em, I\u2019m no fussed too much, I think maybe we should come up with a plan  you know try and find something that you feel confident that you\u2019re able to do and where I\u2019m not worried too much about you giving it a try, and givce that a godoing it.
