Log Book
Deepen Your Practice, Transform Your Mastery
True transformation happens when skill meets soul. This logbook is meticulously designed to help you reflect on the invisible forces that shape a session: your presence, your empathy, and your genuine connection. You are prompted to rate and reflect on the quality of your Empathy , Sensory Accuity , Rapport Building , and Curiosity, allowing you to identify exactly where your presence was strongest and where you can grow. A dedicated section prompts you to assess the 'neuro-cleanliness' for both you and your client, guiding you towards a state of optimal clarity and neutrality. Furthermore, by documenting the Concepts I would like to revise and the Skills I would like to practice, this tool ensures your journey of mastery is continuous and focused.
Unlocking the Client's Inner World
The logbook provides a robust framework for documenting the key non-verbal and neurological aspects of your client's experience, turning observations into actionable insights. You are guided to systematically observe and capture vital details like their Representational systems (Visual + kinesthetic with occasional self talk) , Meta-programs (sudden breaths, victim hood) , and crucial Eye movements (Right up mostly). The form helps you identify deep blocks, such as Blocks in Gestalt (intro + projection) , Neurological misalignment (Identity + capability) , and the core of the struggle, the Trapped self (diabolic split). Finally, the powerful SC-R-OE framework allows you to clearly map the client's Present State (Symptoms and Causes) to their Desired State (Outcome and Effect) using appropriate Resources.
The Gift of Reflection
This Logbook is the essential structure your mastery demands. Stop leaving your insights to chance; this logbook transforms every therapeutic session into a meticulously organized, deeply reflected, and consistently repeatable learning experience, ensuring you move from skilled practitioner to true master of your craft.
