I haven't made a plan of care for myself as I don't have enough expertise in therapy, but I have experienced enough therapy to know that some things work well for me and some things don't and there are other techniques, I'm sure, that I am not aware of. Given my lack of expertise, if I were having a problem with something and wanted to have a plan of attack, I would probably tell that directly to T and see what he suggested, or work out a plan together. I really depend on T to be the therapy expert, and he depends on me to be the expert on myself. Together, we find something that's a good fit! (I'm very big on the team approach to medical care, not just in therapy.)
chaotic, I think your desire to create a plan shows extremely high motivation, which can lead to swift forward progress. Your T will probably be very pleased you are so motivated to move forward. I will be curious to hear what she thinks of your plan and whether you work together to modify it, or maybe she will just say, "good job, go for it!"
