Do you have goals for therapy? Do you want to feel better, think better, act better?

I apologize if this question is dumb.
Your question is not dumb at all. I'm actually working/struggling with this right now, it's my homework for the week, to come up with therapy goals. I have till Thursday and I still don't have much on the list.

I tend to agree with the others that smaller short term goals that are specific will make it easier to gauge progress. But I also think its a good idea to have big overall goals too, to make sure all the small ones take you to the right place.
