About this template

How did that session actually go? Matched before-and-after mood ratings answer in two minutes, and the accumulated trend separates real movement from memory bias. This scale lets clients rate state at session start and end across the dimensions you choose; the AI report charts each shift and flags plateaus as topics worth raising.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does tracking mood before and after sessions actually help?
Yes — matched ratings isolate what a single session changed, and the accumulated trend gives both therapist and client evidence of movement that memory distorts.
How many items should the scale have?
Three to five repeated states beat twenty varied ones; consistency across sessions matters more than coverage.
What does the AI report show?
Per-session shift plus the trend line, in plain language with the weeks where change stalled flagged.
Is it free to use?
Yes — copy the pre/post scales with scoring and report into your workspace at no cost.
Can this be used between sessions too?
Yes — many practices run a short daily version; keep the items matched to compare cleanly.
Does a flat trend mean therapy is failing?
Not necessarily — plateaus are normal; it is a conversation prompt for the therapist, not a verdict.
