ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I discuss the importance of encouraging yourself to use the time after every self-help session to reflect on what you have learned from it, to digest this learning and, if relevant, to experiment with ways of implementing this learning in several different ways. After a reasonable amount of time, you can decide whether or not you need another self-help session. This is a feature of what has been called ‘One-at-a-Time Therapy’ (OAATT). In this way of working, the client is informed at the outset that the therapist will work hard with them to address the issue for which they have sought help and that they may have further sessions which they can only book one at a time, as made clear in the name given to this version of SST.
