Session Notes: A Valuable Tool to get the Most Out of Your Journey
 
Session notes can give you a way to revisit what we discussed, reflect in your own time, hold yourself accountable, and track your progress without relying solely on memory. Because real change happens when you are able to manifest externally what you have internalised during your sessions, this helps you accelerate the process and get sooner to where you want to be. 
 
Can These Notes Can Be Helpful for You?
 
Sometimes, remembering key takeaways from a session can be tough—especially if you’re dealing with:
 
Fatigue, Difficulty Remembering The Depth of the Content, Stress, trauma, or anxiety—which can make it hard to process and retain, and recall information.
Emotional overwhelm—where personal biases shaped by pain, fear, guilt, or shame make it difficult to see things clearly.
ADHD, ADD, or hormonal shifts—which can affect focus, memory, and learning.
Having too much on your plate—when life is demanding, it’s easy to forget the details or even the big picture. 
Relationships Concerns— Which make it difficult for you to consistently concentrate and pay attention. In these cases is pretty common to miss important things during your sessions. 
Expansion on new frameworks and strategies mentioned during the session, to give you the opportunity to dig deeper into the fundamentals of the framework, to help you better understand yourself and your loved ones. 
 
Benefits of having your session notes:
 
Gives you a second chance to absorb the session – so you don’t have to worry about remembering everything in the moment.
Allows for deeper discernment when you feel is the right time to go through them, whether you find yourself confused about a new variable coming to place or you feel you wish to consistently align your actions to the strategy in place. 
Helps you recognise patterns over time – whether in your emotions, behaviours, or relationships.
Supports reflection at your own pace – so you can revisit insights when you’re in the right headspace.
Acts as a guide when life feels overwhelming – grounding you with clear reminders of what’s important.
