Future Vision: Aftercare
From the moment of intake, and throughout your time in group, you have been working towards your Future Vision which is a description of what you want your life to look like when you have completed therapy and are on the way to making changes in your life. Therapy is about change and this is to be thought of as a destination you plan to get to. This means it needs to be a place rather than “not a place” (ie: content or happy most of the time rather than “not depressed or anxious”). Identifying and keeping your mind on a destination is important in any journey, it gives direction, a way to measure progress and a goal of your own choice to attain. All of this has helped you to focus and motivate you as you moved through the program.
