WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080 Introducing The Therapist's Year One and The Therapist's Year Two. 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.680 Two volumes of grounded and growth focused planners 00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:11.200 made for the new therapists in their associate level years. 00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:16.880 Each volume has 12 months. Each month is a monthly theme that corresponds with 00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:19.840 therapist experiences. At the beginning of the month 00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:23.680 there is a wisdom and reflection story. 00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.240 More on what that means and why a story is included in the planner. 00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.640 because we've maybe never heard of that before, right? 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:32.360 The wisdom and reflection stories 00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:34.440 reflect the therapist's experiences. 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.760 Things like therapist identity, boundaries, 00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:41.280 confidence, and over functioning. 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.440 So let's take a look inside. 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:45.600 Inside the front cover, you'll find a storage pocket 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.720 for loose papers or anything you need to keep close. 00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:50.840 Then the first few pages introduce the planner. 00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.920 There's a personal welcome letter from me 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:54.920 because I wanted this to feel like 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:56.720 more than just any other planner. 00:00:56.720 --> 00:00:58.000 then you'll also find instructions 00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.800 for getting the most out of the planner. 00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:02.320 There are a lot of intentional features throughout. 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.880 Then this is your mission statement. 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:05.480 This is your why. 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.400 You'll also find goal setting pages 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.200 because growth happens when we intentionally reflect 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.680 on where we're going. 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.960 You'll also find dedicated resource pages 00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:15.960 that keep your clinical and self-care tools 00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:17.560 close at hand. 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.900 Each month starts with an original story, 00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:22.440 then the monthly section. 00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:25.120 The planner is undated so you can start at any point 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.440 during the year without wasting pages. 00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:28.960 Throughout the planner, you'll also notice 00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:32.000 practical therapist tips, encouraging quotes, 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.760 and thoughtful reminders woven into the layouts. 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.840 The weekly spreads were designed specifically 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.240 for therapists. 00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:40.800 You'll find dedicated space for your schedule, 00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:43.080 a section for supervision takeaways, 00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:45.720 so important insights don't get lost in your notes, 00:01:45.720 --> 00:01:47.540 a place to track your client hours 00:01:47.540 --> 00:01:50.360 and your weekly total, and finally, 00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:51.720 a self-care check-in. 00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:57.480 One of my favorite parts is the weekly win. As therapists, we're often focused on what still 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.760 needs to improve. I wanted to create a space that intentionally reminds you to recognize your own 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.880 progress. Even the small wins deserve to be acknowledged because growth isn't just 00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:15.160 happening for your clients, it's happening for you too. There are five undated weekly layouts 00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:21.080 so that no weeks or dates are missed. Each month also includes a guided activity tied to 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.560 that month's theme. Be sure to preview it first before starting the month as some activities 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:31.080 are designed to be practiced throughout the entire month. This planner was designed to grow with you. 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.320 My hope is that by the end of the year it's filled with more than appointments and notes. 00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:39.000 It's filled with evidence of your growth as both a therapist and a person. 00:02:41.190 --> 00:02:45.830 Welcome to Volume II of The Therapist's Year. Like Volume I, it features a smooth vegan 00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:50.470 leather cover with a gold foil stamping, durable lay flat binding and a convenient 00:02:50.470 --> 00:02:53.750 inside pocket to keep important papers close by. 00:02:53.750 --> 00:02:58.790 Volume II carries the same features as Volume I with a few differences. 00:02:58.790 --> 00:03:01.830 Inside Volume II, you'll find a new welcome letter, 00:03:01.830 --> 00:03:07.270 some updated guidance and an opportunity to revisit the goals you set in Volume I. 00:03:07.910 --> 00:03:11.830 Before moving forward, I wanted to create a space to reflect on how far you've come 00:03:11.830 --> 00:03:13.670 and where you want to continue growing. 00:03:15.110 --> 00:03:18.310 As you enter Month Thirteen, you'll notice a shift. 00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:23.110 The wisdom and reflection stories become more therapist-centered, exploring the deeper challenges 00:03:23.110 --> 00:03:28.710 that often emerge as your confidence, responsibilities, and professional identity 00:03:28.710 --> 00:03:33.670 continue to grow. The monthly themes build on the foundation established in Volume I, 00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:38.710 encouraging continued reflection while supporting your growth as both a clinician and a person. 00:03:39.430 --> 00:03:45.910 Like Volume I, each month includes practical therapist tips, guided activities, encouragement, 00:03:45.910 --> 00:03:52.710 and thoughtfully designed planning pages to help you stay organized while continuing to invest in 00:03:52.710 --> 00:03:58.070 yourself. Volume II isn't about starting your journey, it's about continuing it with a greater 00:03:58.070 --> 00:04:04.310 confidence, deeper reflection, and a stronger sense of who you are becoming as a therapist. 00:04:04.310 --> 00:04:11.830 At the back of the planner is an elastic band, which helps keep the planner closed 00:04:11.830 --> 00:04:16.230 and holds loose papers that you may be storing inside during transport. 00:04:17.670 --> 00:04:26.340 The planner also has another neat little feature which is a ribbon bookmark because we have to keep 00:04:26.340 --> 00:04:35.460 our place. One of the things I love about this planner is that it is undated and that is because 00:04:35.460 --> 00:04:41.220 we know that the associate level therapists might begin their journey at any point in the year. 00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:45.220 And so these planners are ready to start when you are ready. 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:49.220 You don't have to worry about wasting months if you start at the end of the year.
