In this exercise we talk about the thing the client cares about as the HEART. We call the tricky feelings that show up when they move towards it the WAVES. WAVES are ever present, but their intensity rises and falls with each wave. This worksheet is a simple guide through DNA-V, creating a space for young clients to name both their HEART and WAVES, then to think about their advisor and discoverer moves.
