A therapy interventions cheat sheet that works in real sessions
Most intervention lists give you a name and a sentence. Sessionwise gives you context. Every approach, from CBT, DBT and ACT to play therapy, grief counseling and motivational interviewing, has an overview page with what the approach is, who it suits, four key concepts, five questions to ask and four sample progress-note sentences. Then come thirty clearly written intervention cards, each tagged with the client concerns it suits, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger or relationships.
The PDF is fully linked. Color tabs on every page, a clickable contents, PDF bookmarks, an Issue Finder and an A–Z index with every page number linked mean you never scroll through hundreds of pages to find what you need.
