Beyond the Surface™ Session Companion™ — Interactive Client Tool for Therapists
**Give your clients a private space to prepare, reflect, and reconnect between sessions.**
Beyond the Surface™ Session Companion™ is a self-contained, interactive web tool you host on your own free website (setup takes about five minutes, no coding needed) and share with your clients as a link. They can open it before a session to check in with themselves, use guided visuals with you during session, reflect right after a session ends, and return to it any time between appointments.
**What's included:**
- **Prepare** — a brief structured check-in clients use before a session to notice how they're arriving and what they want to bring into the room.
- **Explore** — nine therapist-guided interactive visuals (emotional mapping, values, relational distance, thought-feeling-body chains, perspective-taking, window of tolerance, needs, parts, and body awareness) to use collaboratively during session.
- **Integrate** — a short post-session reflection that helps consolidate what mattered while it's still close, plus an optional closing step where clients can leave themselves "A Note for Future Me."
- **A Gentle Pause** — five brief (30–90 second) guided regulation practices clients can use any time they need a moment to settle.
- **Between Sessions** — a private home for everything a client chooses to save, organized as My Reflections, plus a link to further grounding resources.
**Built with privacy first.** There's no login, no account, no server, and no database. Nothing is transmitted automatically. Any information a client saves stays only in their own browser, on their own device, until they choose to clear it.
**What you're getting:** the complete interactive HTML file, ready to host on any free static site host (step-by-step Netlify instructions included), plus a 24-page professional Implementation Guide covering clinical philosophy, suggested workflows, sample language for introducing it to clients, reminder templates, privacy explanations, and troubleshooting.
**Who this is for:** licensed therapists and counselors who want to extend meaningful, structured support beyond the fifty-minute session, without adding to their own documentation burden.
*This tool is a support for the therapeutic process. It does not replace therapy, clinical judgment, or crisis care.*
**License:** for use by one clinician or one private practice. See the included Implementation Guide for full license terms.
