Pre-Session Progress Jumpstart

I’m excited to introduce a new feature designed to make your sessions even more effective and personalized. Starting this week, exactly 24 hours before the start of your session, you’ll receive a link to complete your Pre-Session Progress Jumpstart. This specialized worksheet, when completed no sooner than the day before your session, will ensure you get the most out of our time together by offering the following benefits:

  • 24 hours before every session you will receive a SMS/text reminder and link to complete your 'Pre-Session Jumpstart'.
  • You can either click on the SMS/text link and complete the form on your phone/tablet or login to your portal from your PC or Mac.
  • You can 'Save' the form at any time and return to it. When you're done, just click 'Complete'.
  • Complete the form no sooner than the day before your session and no later than 6 hours prior to your session.

Maximize Your Progress for Faster Results!

1. Improved Session Preparation

  • Understanding Your Current Needs: The Pre-Session Jumpstart allows me to gain insights into what has gone well and which areas need the most improvement. It also helps me understand your current state, challenges, and progress towards your goals ahead of the session.
  • Tailored Interventions: With a clear understanding of what has transpired since your last session and what you most want to focus on, I can prepare specific tools, techniques, and resources to effectively address your needs.

2. Time Optimization

  • Efficient Use of Session Time: Instead of spending valuable time gathering initial information during our session, we can dive straight into addressing core issues or goals.
  • Streamlined Processes: By determining the most effective tools for your session in advance—such as eye movement therapy or clinical hypnotherapy—I can efficiently gather the necessary information and transition seamlessly into applying these methods. This approach maximizes the time we spend working towards your goals. Simply put, the less time spent deciding what to do, the more time we have to focus on doing it.

3. Better Tracking and Progress Monitoring

  • Documented History: Regularly completing your Pre-Session Jumpstart forms creates a record of your progress, helping us identify patterns, improvements, or areas requiring further attention over time.
  • Accountability: Actively participating in your growth process significantly increases your engagement and accelerates results.
  • Uncover Pressing Issues: Reporting urgent matters and new developments enables me to adjust our approach as needed in real-time while identifying larger patterns over time.

4. Active Participation and Enhanced Satisfaction

  • You Control Every Session: The psychodynamic orientation that informs my work is based on the model of “following the client.” Essentially, regardless of what we may have previously discussed or tentatively planned for the session, a fundamental aspect of the psychodynamic approach is the belief that the client’s chosen topic is the direction to follow. The idea is that clients bring up particular topics for subconscious reasons, and exploring these conversations will most effectively lead to realizations or new awareness—resulting in their next significant breakthrough, even if the reasons for this path are not immediately clear. By completing this form 24 hours in advance and sharing your preferences, you enable me to follow the natural direction of the session while also balancing it with what you’ve communicated in advance about your goals and desired outcomes for the appointment.
  • Active Participation: Studies show that clients feel more valued and involved when they contribute to their session planning, which strengthens the client-practitioner relationship. This process is an essential part of helping you, as the client, recognize your contributions in a way that reduces the tendency to assign all progress and success to the practitioner. As a result, you will develop greater independence and confidence, internalizing your newfound abilities to resolve issues on your own in the future.

Completing your Pre-Session Progress Jumpstart form ensures that we are aligned, prepared, and focused on achieving meaningful outcomes overall and in each individual session.

Warm regards,
