Note: “Back to Back; Front to Front” serves as an assessment of Learning Objectives 1 and 2.B. Summary
Conclude by saying:
“We have talked about how important it is to know what makes you happy. Using a rubber band, we
learned that comparing how things are now with how we’d like them to be creates a tension that can
pull us toward our goal. We spent time visualizing our dreams for the future and we learned that we
can have different goals for ourselves, dependant upon whether we are considering the intellectual,
social, emotional, physical, or spiritual side of who we are. And we made individualized timelines to
think about how our past has some influence over our future but our past does not determine our
future. In our next session we’ll spend more time learning how to make goals and plans for the future.”References:
