Next Session Worksheet/After starting

  1. Review the previous worksheet and take note of any changes.

  1. Other than reporting/updating Jes on what’s happened since we last spoke- what are my focused questions/intentions for this session?
    • Was there anything in particular from last session that helped? What insights have I had since?
    • After my last session, was there anything that we discussed or Jes said that didn’t feel accurate/bothered me?
    • Where am I still stuck? What do I feel motivated/ready to work on?
    • What specific situational examples can I bring to unpack? What memories connect to what I am presently working on?

  1. What are my deeper core issues/fears/beliefs about myself that have been a pattern in my life and/or are surfacing now?
    • What is life trying to teach me?
    • If I were to ask my closest loved ones & friends (those who often interact and/or deeply see/know me the most), what suggestions might they offer about what they consider to be my difficulties? If I don’t know, might it be safe for me to ask them and can I be assured by them that they will only respond in gentle kindness as they try to help me identify areas of growth?

  1. What actions am I working on outside my therapy sessions that is directly correlated with insights gained from therapy?
    • What choices are within my control?
    • What choices are not within my control?
    • What plans have I made to tackle a need/task?
    • What routines need to be implemented?
    • What hard conversations need to be had?
    • List concrete action steps (and mini-steps), as well as time frames necessary for each goal, and track my consistency.
