HOW IT WORKS

Every session entry begins with a mindful check-in to help you prepare. You'll have access to grounding techniques and guided prompts to reflect on how you're doing before your therapy session begins.

If your Therapy Session is in the middle of your work day, chances are you'll speak about your job more than any other topic. This step allows you to step away from the immediate thoughts at the surface of your mind and prepare yourself to tackle the topics you really want.

When something is emotionally resonant, it tends to capture all of our attention and focus. As a result, it’s a common experience to feel like you didn’t get to talk about something you wanted to cover, or that you went on a tangent and got side tracked. “Topics for This Session” allows you to set a meeting agenda of sorts, so that you go in with intention, and cover what you feel is a priority.

Each session entry includes intentional space for notes and reflection. As you work through different topics with your therapist, you may have new ways of thinking that you want to capture. Sometimes a conversation goes in a direction that you may not have anticipated (a good thing!) but you might still want to cover what was in your “Topics for This Session.” Here, you can note these things you didn’t cover.

Therapy is potentially only 1 hour out of our 168-hour week. Each session entry includes a variety of reflection prompts to help you continue processing between sessions and remember what to talk about with your therapist.

In the time between sessions, so much happens. If you had a breakthrough, if you had a particularly hard moment, if something is puzzling you that you want to work out, this is your place to note these moments.

Set and shift your therapy goal with your therapist every 10 sessions, and monitor your progress and comfort with your therapist.

You’re in therapy because you’re interested in progress. Setting goals allows you to focus your energy in the way that will most help you. These goals can change and shift over time, and the topic may change from session to session, but having an overarching goal allows you to reflect on the “big picture” and note how much change has truly happened.

INSIDE THE BOOK

Uncover what you really
want to talk about.

From working through past experiences to crucial in-the-moment needs between sessions, The Therapy Journal is your safe space to talk about what’s really on your mind. You can gather thoughts, reflect, and prepare for sessions ahead, so you get the most out of your therapy.

Thrive in therapy.

The Therapy Journal helps you facilitate your own growth outside of one-on-one therapy time. You’ll be empowered to take inner work further—and improve the change you want to see, outside of sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

We haven’t changed anything, actually! We’ve gotten so much positive feedback on the journaling entry, that we’ve simply added more blank notes pages in the back so you can continue to journal if needed.

We’ve also changed the interior page color to gray, and have increased the opacity of the text color to help with legibility. Note that we have kept the text size the same due to page limitations.

This notebook is designed to help you get the most out of your therapy sessions by giving you a space to organize your thoughts and process the events of your week to work through with your therapist. To put it simply, we hope to reduce the number of times you show up to your sessions drawing a blank. With The Therapy Journal, we hope you can more intentionally identify what you want to talk about so you can make the most of your limited time with your therapist.

There are three major sections of The Therapy Journal that will help you prepare and process your time before, during, and after your session. This first section is Notes From the Week–this is open space for you to jot down the moments and reflections during the week that you want to continue processing with your therapist. The second section is a combination of session preparation, session notes, and session reflection to help you capture the insights that you want to hold onto. Finally, you’ll have a goal setting and goal check-in section to make sure you’re focused on the things that matter most to you in therapy.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

PERFECT TOOL! It helps me reflect in the moment and get the most out of my therapy sessions! I am definitely making improvements significantly faster and more thoroughly because of this tool.

— Morgan P.

So many things to LOVE! As someone who manages their own mental health through therapy, medication, and a variety of self-help workbooks AND is a licensed therapist by trade, I've found these journals/workbooks to be tremendously helpful for myself and for the clients that I've suggested should try them out.

— Michelle H.

I have a tough time speaking in therapy and by keeping notes daily I am able to remember key points and can bring them up to my therapist. Otherwise I would forget and I would never improve.

— Parker D.

Helpful tool to maximize therapy. This is a useful way to both prepare for and process therapy appointments. It provides just enough guidance but allows for flexibility of use.

— Amy B.

Helpful for my scatterbrain and bad short-term memory. I actually really enjoy using this notebook. I don't have a very good short-term memory so it helps to sort my thoughts out and keep me on track for my weekly sessions.

— Mira C.

I just have to say this is probably one of the Best Buy's I have ever made, The prompts really help me dig deep inside and discuss what I'm really going through and how I'm really feeling and it helped me to identify my emotions when I've never been able to do that before I am so grateful for this book.

— Desiree R.
