Purpose 🎯

Help clients recognize progress and challenge depressive patterns of discounting accomplishments.

Let’s Talk About It 🗣️

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 💡

• What would you acknowledge in a friend?
• What did you handle despite low motivation?

Telehealth / Whiteboard Version ⚖️

Create a weekly wins tracker together.

Why This Works 🌱

Tracking small successes increases awareness of progress and builds self-efficacy.

Clinical Pearl 🧠

Small wins are clinically meaningful because depression often minimizes evidence of improvement.
