Stress Thermometer
A stress thermometer, developed by Janette McAfee, is a visual support that helps an individual identify her level of stress and choose a corresponding relaxation technique. The thermometer provides a visual illustration of her stress indicators, for example low, medium, high or represented in degrees, and relaxation strategies to address those particular levels of stress. Stress markers are listed on the left side of the thermometer and relaxation techniques correspond on the right side.
