Your Field Notes

Your Role in This Work

In our sessions, we spend time exploring what's getting in the way at home and designing an action for you to try before we meet again. That action is always an experiment, never a test. You are not being graded.

Between sessions, your job is to be a keen observer of yourself.

For this exercise, think of yourself as a field scientist studying a subject you find fascinating. A good scientist doesn't judge the data. They simply observe, record, and let what they find inform what comes next.

Here are the steps to take between each session.

1. Try the action you designed.

2. Notice what happens.

3. Come back to this form a day or so before your next session. Report what you observed as neutrally as you can.

Whatever happened is useful. A completed action and an uncompleted one are equally valuable; both tell us something important about how you work, what you need, and what to try next.

The non-attempt is often more revealing than the attempt. It's all part of the learning.
