Situation and Feeling Check-In

Reflection & Journaling Tools

Optional client-owned prompts; use, adapt, or skip based on context.

Using This Optional Tool

This page offers optional prompts to record a situation, optional feeling word, personal rating, body note, support option, and uncertainty without clinical interpretation. The fields are prompts, not findings, requirements, or a complete model of the situation.

Use the client's own words and distinguish observations from assumptions. Any field may be renamed, reordered, left blank, revisited, or discarded.

How to Use Situation and Feeling Check-In

  1. Choose one relevant situation, example, or question, or skip the page.
  2. Record observed information separately from interpretations and unknowns.
  3. Use any number of fields in any order; no blank, rating, or difficulty proves a cause, trait, priority, or outcome.
  4. Review or share only what the client chooses and keep any next step optional.

Choice and Support Boundary

Optional coaching reflection - not therapy, diagnosis, medical care, legal advice, employment advice, or a validated assessment. Skip, adapt, or stop. Do not infer causes, conditions, traits, motives, truth, or required responses. Preserve privacy, consent, access, context, and uncertainty; use qualified or emergency support for unsafe, severe, or out-of-scope concerns.

Before Your Next Session

One more thing to sit with:

Review only what you choose. What remains observed, assumed, or unknown, and is any support or question useful?

If there is a gap, leave it unresolved or discuss it only if useful; no pattern, cause, or significance is inferred.
