I'm a little late, but I wanted to mention two ways to use a paper circle in therapy.
Personal Time Pie: Have the client divide the pie into percentages of where they spend their time. Then how they want to spend their time. And then have them keep track during the week to see where they actually spend their time. Talk about obstacles in getting from here to there. Talk about why they spend time the way they do.
Family Time Pie: I have had times when a child wants more attention and the parents feel like they don't have enough time. I've had the child product two pies: how much time is spent in which areas now and how they'd like it to be. They can be quite fair. I have the parents do the same thing. Then we compare with each other. Great reality check and perspective enlightening.
