In the days leading up to your session, it's beneficial to take intentional time to reflect on your recent experiences and emotional landscape. Identify any specific issues, emotions, or patterns that have surfaced, whether they relate to ongoing challenges, new stressors, or even moments of positivity and growth.
By coming to your session with a clear sense of what you’d like to explore, you make the time more focused and productive.
Before your session, consider what you hope to achieve. This might include gaining clarity on a specific issue, understanding a behaviour pattern, or learning new coping strategies.
Setting a clear goal helps guide the session and ensures that your time is focused on what matters most to you.
Notice any physical sensations or emotions you’re carrying into the session. Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or calm?
This awareness can be useful to share at the beginning of your session to help your therapist understand where you’re at in the moment.
