Noticing Change between Sessions — Review journal
Review an attempt at noticing change between sessions and choose what to keep, change, or leave aside.
10 minutes · Journal prompts · Adults; supported use as appropriate
Fictional example: Devin looks for one occasion of beginning a task with less preparation.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Change can be observed without assigning constant homework.
Before looking back
Choose one ordinary attempt or decide to review the fictional example instead. This journal has no scores, required disclosure, or expectation of progress.
Revisit the practice
Choose one sign of a preferred difference and a low-burden way to notice whether it appears.
Notice context and impact
Record what actually happened, including an unhelpful or neutral outcome. Note resources, power differences, accessibility, and changed conditions rather than attributing everything to personal effort.
