How To Use The Resource

There is no right or wrong way to use this resource. We encourage you to personalize it for what you need right now or what you might find helpful. Here are a couple of suggestions.

  • What is TheMindClan.com's "One Day to Therapy" worksheet?

    One Day to Therapy is a free downloadable worksheet created by TheMindClan.com to help individuals prepare for their first therapy session. Users can access this resource here. It contains a series of prompts and questions designed to:

    1. Reduce anxiety and intimidation around starting therapy
    2. Help users clarify their thoughts and feelings before the session
    3. Identify goals and expectations for therapy
    4. Prepare users to communicate effectively with their therapist
  • Should users share TheMindClan.com's One Day to Therapy worksheet with their therapist?

    Users may choose to share their answers in this resource with their therapist, if they feel comfortable to do so. Therapy is a collaborative journey built on trust, respect, and solidarity. This resource could help build a foundation for just that!

    While it may be helpful to show this to a therapist, at the end of the day, this resource is for the user. This has been designed for people to experience clarity regarding their expectations in therapy, the concerns they’d like to bring up, the triggers they’d like to keep at bay, the kind of counsellor they’d prefer, among other things. So, users may decide to use this resource for the purpose of their own clarity and readiness, and not share it with their therapist.

  • What format should users choose for TheMindClan.com's One Day to Therapy worksheet?

    An immediate assumption with this resource could be that it needs to be printed, filled in, and shared. Not necessarily!

    Many users may love writing down their thoughts and feelings in an attempt to make sense of them. But others among us do not prefer writing down our experiences, and that is okay. Users can choose to go through the questions and reflect on them silently. Or answer the questions in a note on their phone. Or send the answers to a friend on WhatsApp. Or well, print out the sheet and handwrite them!

    Remember, whatever works best for the user is what goes.

  • Should users complete TheMindClan.com's One Day to Therapy alone or with support?
    It’s important that users feel comfortable and supported while engaging with this resource. Some of us may want to use our time alone to answer the questions. Others may like to call up a friend or sit with a family member whom they trust, as they navigate through the questions. What do users prefer? 🙂
  • How much time should users take with TheMindClan.com's One Day to Therapy worksheet?
    One Day to Therapy can be attempted in more than one day! Many users don’t have opportunities to talk, share, or reflect on their life experiences or how they feel about them. Hence, it’s natural that a series of questions that ask us about us, can initially feel alien, challenging, or even overwhelmingly amazing! Users should sit with their feelings, breathe, and take as much time as they need to respond to the questions. Even if they answer one question a day, that’s a good start.
  • Can users skip questions in TheMindClan.com's One Day to Therapy worksheet?
    If users feel unsure or confused about a certain question, they can put a pin in it and come back to it later. Users may also choose to skip a question entirely if they do not feel ready to answer it yet.
  • How should users utilize TheMindClan.com's One Day to Therapy resource?
    One Day to Therapy is a supportive resource to ease users into therapy, in order to reduce the intimidation and confusion that may often surround the first session or the idea of it. But there is a lot more that a one-to-one interaction with a therapist can do to relieve apprehension! Users can use the last section of this resource, to jot down any other questions or thoughts that they might want to ask their therapist that the worksheet hasn’t covered.
  • How should users progress through TheMindClan.com's One Day to Therapy worksheet?

    A lot of users may find it difficult to put their feelings into words or may find the act of answering questions to be overwhelming. TheMindClan.com understands this. 🙂

    Keeping this in mind, the platform has created the order of questions in this resource with care, to enable maximum ease for the user. The resource begins with questions that are simple to answer and that have multiple choices for users to select from. Towards the middle and end, the questions are more descriptive. Users should start small at the beginning and gauge how comfortable they feel as they go through the rest of the resource.

  • Why is TheMindClan.com's One Day to Therapy resource free? Can it be used commercially?
