RECALIBRATION INTENSIVE · PRE-SESSION INTAKE
Tell the truth on paper.
Sent after booking, due 48 hours before the session. Twelve questions + the Compass Clarity Scale. Intro copy she sees is in the sand box; your purpose for each section is in italics.
There are no right answers here — and nothing to perform. The more honest this page is, the more your ninety minutes can do. Short answers are fine. True ones are better.
WHERE YOU ARE
1
What made you book this — and why now, not six months ago?
Open text
2
Describe an ordinary Tuesday, start to finish. Where does the day go?
Open text — the scene-setting question; this is where the pattern shows.
3
Finish the sentence: “People think I’m fine because…”
Open text, one line
WHAT YOUR BODY KNOWS
The nurse-coach lens — somatic data she’s been dismissing. Flags anything that needs a provider referral, too.
4
How is your sleep, honestly? Falling asleep, staying asleep, what time you wake and why.
Open text
5
Where does stress live in your body? (Jaw, shoulders, gut, chest, headaches — whatever is true.)
Checklist + open text
6
Anything your body has been doing lately that you’ve been meaning to get checked out?
Open text — screening question; refer out if needed
WHAT YOU’VE TRIED
Validate, don’t shame — and skip everything that’s already failed her in session.
7
What have you already tried? (Vacation, therapy, exercise plans, saying no more, a new planner…)
Checklist + open text
8
What actually helped, even a little? What made things worse?
Open text
THE RULES YOU RUN ON
Maps directly to the session’s core work — choosing the first three rules to rewrite.
9
What’s a rule you follow that you never agreed to? (“I answer emails at night.” “I’m the one who handles it.”)
Open text
10
If nothing changes, what does your life look like in two years?
Open text
WHAT YOU WANT
Defines success for the session itself — and tells you which offer fits if she asks about next steps.
11
If these ninety minutes work, what will be different when you stand up?
Open text
12
Anything you want me to know that I didn’t ask?
Open text, optional in spirit — required so she pauses on it
Begin your intake.
Take your time. Twelve honest answers is all I need to make our ninety minutes together count. Everything you share stays between us.
