First Session Prep
What to set up, what to expect, and the two or three things worth naming out loud in your first telehealth session.
Free & open · No login
Nine worksheets you can fill in right here, six more to print or fill in on your device, and four tools for the moment you're actually in. Written for clients of Empowered Wellness — and open to anyone who needs them.
Everything you type into a worksheet or tool is saved only in this browser, on this device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is sent to Dennis, and no account is created. Clear your browser data and it's gone.
The printable PDFs work the same way: they are ordinary files, so anything you type into one is saved wherever you save the file, and nothing is sent back here.
That also means this is not the place for clinical records or urgent messages — bring those to a session.

What to set up, what to expect, and the two or three things worth naming out loud in your first telehealth session.
Fill-in worksheet
Slow the moment down and separate the facts from the feeling: situation, emotion, body cue, automatic thought, thinking trap, next step.
Exercise
A short, structured reset for panic, anger, overwhelm, or emotional flooding. Orient, settle, then choose one safe action.
Fill-in worksheet
Write this one while you're calm. Early warning signs, the reminder that actually lands for you, your steps, and who you'll reach out to.
Guide

Reflection
A gentle, faith-friendly reflection for discouragement and grief — including permission to need help rather than more effort.
Tracker
An end-of-week check on mood, stress, sleep, and coping — enough to spot a pattern, without turning your life into a spreadsheet.
Short lesson

Printable PDF
Tells the difference between thinking that solves something and thinking that just circles, then sets a limit and a next step you can actually take.
Printable PDF
For the gap between what you have actually done and what you let yourself take credit for. Works through the evidence rather than arguing with the feeling.
Printable PDF

Printable PDF
What a boundary actually is, where yours are already being crossed, and wording you can use that holds the line without starting a fight.
Printable PDF

Printable PDF
For the days when waiting to feel motivated keeps the cycle going. Shrinks the task until starting is possible, and uses that to build momentum.
Try a shorter search term, or clear the filters to see all fifteen resources. If there's something you wish existed here, say so — the library grows from client requests.
Interactive tools
No sign-in, no data leaving your device. Use one for ninety seconds and close the tab — that counts.
A longer exhale than inhale tells your nervous system the emergency is over. Follow the circle.
Ready
Press start whenever you're ready.
Stop any time. Lightheaded? Breathe normally and try a shorter pattern.

Fill in the steps above and a balanced version will build here.
One check-in takes fifteen seconds. After a week or two the pattern starts speaking for itself — and patterns are easier to bring to a session than memories.

things you can see
Look around and name them. Typing is optional — noticing is the exercise.
Important
Everything here is educational and supportive. It does not diagnose, it does not treat, and it cannot respond to you. If you are in immediate danger, or you may hurt yourself or someone else, please use one of the numbers beside this — they are staffed right now.
If you are a client and something urgent comes up, follow the contact instructions in your intake paperwork rather than this website.
