Progress Portrait

A record of the work, made for the client.

The Progress Portrait is a document you make for a client in the closing weeks of treatment: a personal record of the work you did together, drawn from what intuitiveEMDR kept as you worked, memory by memory. You talk it through with the client first, rewrite its opening letter in your own words, add your note, and print it for them to keep.

What it holds

The Portrait is written in sections, each one drawn from the record:

  • A cover, and a page that prepares the client before they read on.
  • An opening letter, drafted by AI for you to rewrite.
  • The work you did, across the course of treatment.
  • Memory by memory: each target you worked together.
  • A note from you, in your own words.

You begin by talking the Portrait through with the client, then record their verbal consent. It is your record that you asked; the client signs nothing.

Made in the studio

In the Portrait studio you choose which memories it includes and whether it leads with the touchstone memory, and save drafts as you go.

It will not print until your note is written, the AI-drafted letter has been rewritten, and any memory lines it flags have been reviewed.

When, and on which plans

It is meant for the closing weeks of treatment, so you can make it before the client is discharged. It is on the paid plans, from Insight; the free plan shows it, locked.

What it does not do

  • It does not reach the client by itself. You print it, or save it as a PDF, and give it to them.
  • It is not a chart document. It is written for the client, in plain words.
  • It does not print until your own note is in it.

Questions

What is a Progress Portrait?

A personal record of a client's EMDR work, made for them rather than for a chart: the work you did together, memory by memory, with an opening letter and a note from you.

Does the client have to consent?

You talk it through with them first and record their verbal consent before you begin. The client signs nothing.

What does the AI write, and what do I write?

AI drafts the opening letter, and the Portrait will not print until you have rewritten it. Your own note is yours alone, and it is required.

How does the client receive it?

You print it, or save it as a PDF from the print dialog, and give it to them.

Which plans include it?

The paid plans, from Insight. The free plan shows it, locked.
