Checklist for Trainers

25 Sessions On Yourself
To document the sessions you do on yourself, you can use this Excel spreadsheet (or this Excel A4 version). We are working on an online form that you can use instead if you do not have access to Excel. In the meantime, you can print this pdf version and use it: 8.5 x 11 A4 version

The information requested for each session is:

Session date
Step #1
Step #2
Any comments you would like to include

You are also asked to mark whether you were working on a:

Trauma
Allergy
Negative Belief
Physical Condition
Creating a Happy Life

And what your beginning and ending SUDS ratings were.

SUDS stands for a Subjective Unit of Distress. This is a very useful tool for judging how effective a session is. You rate the intensity of your feelings (distress, anger, upset, etc.) at the beginning of the session based on a scale of 0 – 10, with 0 being not intense at all, and 10 being extremely intense. At the end of a session, rate the intensity of your feelings again and make note of any change.
