I'm curious about if anyone here has a treatment plan and if so, what it includes? Is it written or verbal? How soon after beginning therapy do you get it? Does it include the length of time they estimate it will take? Is it always formal? Or sometimes informal, like just an understanding that "we are going to work on ____ together and we'll keep working on it until you show improvement/progress and it is resolved?"

I guess I'm just curious because I've heard of treatment plans but I don't think I have one. I remember once toward the beginning, my T said something like "you know best what you need to heal." So part of what we have done is prospect about and leave it up to me to bring up the most important things so we can deal with them, because only I know what they are. Does that make sense? Part of that has involved an evasive dance around the issues and a slow increase in self-knowledge, but my T has been patient. It seems to be working.

Just curious about everyone else's experience!
