An original visual check-in for the start of a session

A number out of ten is the least informative thing a person can say about themselves, since it compresses a whole week into a digit. This check-in asks for a mark on four lines (in the body, in the head, with other people, and about coming here) and then for the one that was hardest to mark. The last line is the one clinicians are tempted to remove, and it is the one that earns the sheet its place.
Abstract
Read the abstract
A number out of ten is among the least informative things a person can say about themselves, since it compresses a week into a single digit. This visual check-in for the start of a session replaces the rating with marks on four lines: in the body, in the head, with other people and about coming to therapy. The patient then indicates which line was hardest to mark. Clinician notes record marks that contradict the verbal report, lines that were skipped and change since the previous sheet. The final line, about coming to therapy, is retained deliberately, because it gives patients a way to say on paper that they are unsure the work is helping. The tool has no norms or scoring and is designed for repeated use across sessions.
Who it's for
Clinicians who open sessions with a check-in and want one that brings material into the room instead of a score.
