What it’s for

The appointment is often short, and your state is hard to describe on the spot. Writing it down saves time and adds precision.

What to write

  1. How long the state has lasted and when it began.
  2. Sleep, appetite, energy — concretely, in hours and meals.
  3. What I can no longer manage that I used to.
  4. Medicines and supplements you take, alcohol included.
  5. Family history, if you know it.
  6. Three questions you want to ask.

Does some of this sound familiar?

An explanation is one thing, the experience another. If you'd like to talk it through with someone, write to me.

Write to me How therapy works
This is what insomnia taught me. What has it taught you? Traumatic experiences can leave you weakened — on recovery and strength. On the worries that drain our energy. On why differentiation matters in relationships. Self-confidence starts with self-awareness. On how hard it is to start — and harder still to keep going.
