What's included

Everything your clients need between sessions.

Each between-session guide includes a summary, homework tasks, and any resources you want to share

Session Summary

In today's session, you shared that you've been feeling very depressed and that your thoughts have been really hard to handle. You mentioned wanting some help to get more distance from your thoughts so they don't have so much control over how you feel.

We talked about a skill from ACT called 'defusion,' which helps you step back from your thoughts and see them as just thoughts—not facts or instructions.
