How TheraBasics helps therapists prepare for sessions
Therapy gets fifty minutes. Your client lives the rest of the week elsewhere. TheraBasics gives you a quiet read on that week before the appointment, so the session starts where it should.
Start warm, not cold
You no longer start from a cold verbal recap. Instead of spending the first ten minutes reconstructing the week out loud, you walk in already knowing the shape of it.
The week becomes a brief
Client check-ins become a concise pre-session brief: one honest paragraph about what they have been working on, framed through your modality, with a few places you might start.
Twice this week she wrote about feeling disconnected from David, both after her mom called on Tuesday. She skipped her morning walk the three days that followed. Yoga class Saturday was the first time she laughed all week, and last night she wrote that she's dreading Monday.
- The disconnection from David, and what Tuesday's call stirred up.
- Three skipped walks, then what made Saturday feel different.
Review, not surveillance
The dashboard is for review, not ongoing monitoring or chat. You open it before a session, take what is useful, and close it. There is no inbox to keep up with and no thread to answer.
Built for 60-second prep
The goal is 60-second session prep. Glance, orient, and decide what to bring into the room. Everything else stays where it belongs, which is with your client.
Not chat. Not crisis support. Not another inbox.
The brief is the dashboard's highest-value artifact. Here is what it summarizes, how to weigh it, and how to keep clinical judgment in your hands.
