I particularly like the section of the appointment labeled "check in":
Limit the check in to 5 - 10 minutes
• If a significant event has happened, propose it gets added to the agenda and addressed in good time
• A time to chit chat and express warmth and to build the alliance
• Important that the therapist maintain a distinction between check in time and the rest of the session
