My kids used to go to the pediatrician and walk out with a sticker or two. It was pretty gender specific: Disney Princess for my daughter, Lightning McQueen for my son.
I would like to have a bunch of stickers made for my adult clients and let them pick one on the way out.
For example: Today I cried proudly.
Or: Today I cried without apologizing.
Or: Today I was able to take responsibility for my own actions.
I was able to ask directly for what I needed.
Today I was authentic and I advocated for myself.
Or: I was the best mental patient today.
