Prime & Process : A Structural Approach to Self-Care

---

By placing a priority on priming before sessions, clients take agency of their treatment, combat recency bias, and strengthen the working alliance between client and therapist. In addition, priming can help to deepen self-reflection and helps the client to take advantage of every minute in the therapy space. 

Similarly, post-session reflection and therapeutic integration helps to cement insights, further strengthens client agency, and prevents the cognitive trap of unproductive rumination and "therapy hangovers". 

In addition, individual work throughout the pause between sessions can accelerate behavioral change and progress, as well as boosting and optimizing working memory and the maintenance of clinical insights.
