Here is a quick reminder of the approach used at AQAL Therapies in engaging with new clients for the first time. The following are the main components of that first session.
Please keep in mind that you are trained well and have the knowledge to run your first session without this framework, however, since you are doing your internship or practicum here, it is important that the clients have a similar experience for what AQAL Therapies has become known for.
You are also capable of being flexible enough that should the session go off in any direction, that you are able to go with them. Staying present in the moment is essential, so try not to get to hung up on following the suggestions here to rigidly.
With that being said, feel free to go “off script”. This is meant to be a general guide to help you get started with someone new. There is a general intake assessment that is sent to clients ahead of time. The following framework has some of that baked in. Be sure to take a look at the intake paperwork before you meet with the client for the first time.
The approach used at AQAL Therapies is grounded in the FACT format described briefly after the summary, so be sure to take a look at that.
