Purpose π―
Help clients recognize progress and challenge depressive patterns of discounting accomplishments.
Letβs Talk About It π£οΈ
Explore daily wins, including small acts of coping, connection, or responsibility.
Ask:
- What did you do that was difficult?
- What effort deserves recognition?
If the Conversation Gets Stuck π‘
- What would you acknowledge in a friend?
- What did you handle despite low motivation?
Telehealth / Whiteboard Version βοΈ
Create a weekly wins tracker together.
Why This Works π±
Tracking small successes increases awareness of progress and builds self-efficacy.
Clinical Pearl π§
Small wins are clinically meaningful because depression often minimizes evidence of improvement.
Documentation Language π
Therapist facilitated strengths-based reflection to increase recognition of progress and challenge negative self-appraisal.
Clinical Focus: Strengths-Based Reflection, Progress Recognition, Self-Efficacy
