"What is essential is invisible to the eye"  Antoine de Saint-Exupery-The Little Prince  

"Everything waits to be noticed" Art Garfunkel

The Youniverse Self-Leadership tool and its companion storybook,  The Big Bright Ball Answers the Call,  takes the essential, yet invisible inner world of thoughts and feelings and makes them visible to the eye where they can be helped and healed by our noticing and caring center-core Self.

Each Youniverse features one's always already present "Big Bright Ball" Self (large central sphere)  and a "youniverse" of "Parts"(smaller attachable orbs).  The Parts can represent one's thoughts, emotions, behaviors, physical sensations and  memories.  The goal of Youniverse assisted therapy is to help you help your client's recognize and use their center-core Self to see, understand and heal their parts' pain or burdens resulting in unblocked Self-Leadership.

Reading the companion Big Bright Ball Storybook encourages clients to make that crucial "You-turn" inward.  For parents, offering the Youniverse as a "Feelings Wheel" "Mind Map" or "Choice Wheel" becomes a natural and effective Conversation-Starter and/or Time-Out Solution.
