Therapist Materials for Continuing Progress into the Future

Abstract

The main point of this final session is to review key concepts from this treatment program and to help the client prepare for what comes next. This session looks at relapse prevention and reviews the important takeaway messages of the program. Clients learn a quick method of applying skills when taking action in the future by reviewing an emotion skills action plan and creating their own practice plan. Clients and therapist evaluate client progress and revisit client treatment goals created at the beginning of treatment. Studies on this treatment have shown that clients continue to see additional improvements in their symptoms for up to a full year after completion.
