What are between-session reflections?
Between-session reflections offer a dedicated space to capture and process your thoughts from one appointment to the next. Whether you're celebrating a win, working through a challenge, or simply organizing your thoughts, this tool helps you identify meaningful topics to bring into your next session.
After each session, you'll receive a prompt to reflect. Based on your response, you'll get suggested topics to help guide your next conversation with your provider. You can choose to share these topics with your provider or keep them private.
Why should I use between-session reflections?
Engaging in between-session reflections can enhance your therapy experience by helping you:
Capture important thoughts. Jot down anything that surfaces between appointments so nothing gets lost.
Stay engaged in your therapy journey. Remain connected to your goals and progress, even outside of session time.
Feel more prepared and focused. Enter sessions with a clearer sense of what you want to discuss, which boosts confidence and emotional readiness.
Take ownership of your progress. Reflect in your own words, on your own schedule. Your insights shape the conversation.
How do I use between-session reflections?
Access from prompt links
After your first appointment, you'll begin receiving prompts to record your thoughts between sessions. These reminders are sent via email or text after each session. To get started, click the Review session topics button in the email. This will open the reflections tool in a new window.
Don’t have the email or text reminder? No problem. When available, prompts will also appear in the "My tasks" section of your client portal dashboard. To get started:
Click the Review session topics link.
Select a prompt that fits how you would like to reflect, or choose Let my thoughts flow for a free-form option.
Enter your thoughts in the text field, then click Save in the top right.
Based on your response, you will receive a list of AI-generated topics to review.
Decide what to share. Select Share topics with provider to make them visible to your provider, or click Don't share topics to keep them private.
Topics you choose to share will be visible in-session.
Access from the therapy toolkit dashboard
If a between-session reflection prompt is no longer visible in your tasks, you can still access the feature from your client portal. Click Therapy toolkit in the left-side menu, then select Share what’s top of mind under the "Support for your next session" section.
