A sample therapy support plan.

Their therapy schedule (day/time):
Tuesdays at 2pm
What they typically need after therapy:
Usually needs quiet. Sometimes wants to be held. Sometimes needs to be alone. I ask, don't assume.
MY plan for therapy days (what I'll do for myself):
I go for a walk or call my friend. I don't sit home waiting and worrying.
How I'll keep the home environment stable on therapy days:
No heavy conversations. Simple dinner. No expectations.
Things I will NOT do on therapy days:
Don't ask what happened in session. Don't say 'you seem worse.' Don't suggest they're not ready for processing.
