One full preset in this category — the stress bucket — plus the six sticky-note color variants that drop from the toolbar's **+ Sticky** button. ## Stress bucket (Brabban & Turkington) A bucket-shaped diagram with three clinically-loaded features: * **Stressors going in** — labelled at the top of the bucket with a downward indicator * **The water level inside** — represents current stress level * **A tap on the side, labelled "Coping outlets"** — sleep, social, exercise. The tap releases pressure so the bucket doesn't overflow. * **Cracks at the bottom, labelled "Vulnerabilities"** — the things that let resources leak out before stress is processed **Use it for:** psychoeducation on the stress-vulnerability model (originally Zubin & Spring, applied clinically by Brabban & Turkington). The bucket makes the model visceral in a way the verbal explanation doesn't: * Stress is cumulative. The bucket fills. * Coping skills release pressure. The tap drains. * Vulnerabilities make the system fragile. The cracks leak. * Overflow happens when stressors-in exceeds tap-out faster than the bucket can hold. **The clinical move:** drop the preset, walk through each element with the client. Label the actual stressors they're carrying (drop sticky notes above the bucket). Label their actual coping outlets next to the tap. Label the vulnerabilities they recognize next to the cracks. The filled-in bucket becomes a personalized stress-vulnerability map. Often a powerful intervention with clients who feel like they "should be able to handle" their stress and don't understand why they keep overflowing. The bucket reframes the question from *"why are you so overwhelmed"* to *"how full is the bucket, what's coming in, and what's draining out."* Pairs naturally with the TIPP preset ([emotion regulation](/whiteboard/presets-emotion-regulation)) and the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding preset ([mindfulness + ACT](/whiteboard/presets-mindfulness-act)) — those worksheets ARE the coping outlets you'd write at the tap. **Search keywords** the picker matches: *Brabban*, *Turkington*, *stress vulnerability*, *Zubin Spring*. ## Sticky notes — the six colors Stickies are a class of preset on their own — they drop from the **+ Sticky** button on the toolbar, not from the Worksheets library. Six color variants: * **Yellow** — classic Post-it. Default. * **Pink** — warm tone. Feelings, validation. * **Orange** — warm. Goals, action items. * **Green** — growth, strengths. * **Blue** — cool tone. Coping skills, grounding cues. * **White** — clean card for neutral notes. Drop a sticky onto the canvas, double-click to add text, drag to position. They pair naturally with every other preset — drop a distortion-list preset and use stickies to capture which distortion the client is wrestling with right now; drop a bull's-eye values preset and use stickies for specific values that emerge.
