Quick answer
A guided reflection page on what happened, what it meant, what it revealed and what to keep - built for clients who find blank-page journaling useless.
Free-form journaling fails most clients: the blank page produces a summary, not insight. This template asks six fixed questions after an event or a session - what happened factually, what it meant, what it revealed about the client's patterns, what they would do differently, what to keep and what one move follows. Because the prompts never change, the entries become comparable over weeks.
