Here’s the general process:
Identify the client’s goal. Answer the question: what’s my clients goal in-session, and how can out-of-session work complement what we’re doing?
Assign “homework” to help.
Lasting guides clients through a process of learning and journaling, then provides a comparison so partners can visualize each other’s thoughts and feelings. Clients can also enable on notifications, so their phones can nudge them to practice specific things during the week.
