What Can You Expect in a Session?
Every session is uniquely tailored to your individual needs, concentrating on the specific aspects of executive functioning that you wish to enhance. At the outset of your therapy journey, you'll collaborate with your therapist to identify key focus areas and establish personalized goals. Each session typically begins with a reflection on the past week and any exercises you practiced, followed by setting an agenda to address your current challenges.
​
During these sessions, you'll explore and practice strategies designed to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. For example, if you're managing a significant work project, your therapist may guide you in breaking it down into manageable steps, applying time management techniques, and utilizing effective tools to complete each component successfully. You'll often receive assignments to reinforce what you've learned, ensuring that each session builds upon the last and equips you with a comprehensive set of executive functioning skills for everyday use.
