How good are you at working out what really matters when it comes to being the very best version of yourself in the therapy room?

At sitting back and focusing on BEING in the room rather than always DOING? (and then feeling like you're never DOING enough?)

I challenge you to be really honest with yourself as you answer these 12 questions that cover the SPARKS domains for therapist well-being and confidence (plus one bonus, self-reflection prompt).

Question Title

* 1. What's your professional name (i.e., the name on your AHPRA or other regulatory body's membership)

Question Title

* 3. How often do you say "no" to a request from a client (or supervisee, etc.) in the absence of a "good" reason/excuse (i.e., how often do you say "no" just because it's what's best for you?)

Question Title

* 4. How often do you book out a small block of time just for you? Maybe a client-free hour at the end of the week, or an extra day off so you can take a long-weekend?

Question Title

* 5. How often do you practice ACTIVE relaxation (e.g., not zoning out in front of the tv or doom scrolling), but ACTIVELY doing something that relaxes you? e.g., meditation, walking, exercising, personal therapy, massages, etc

Question Title

* 6. How often do you wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and energised for the day ahead? (If you have any chronic health issues etc, how often do you wake up feeling as good as possible for you and your health status?)

Question Title

* 7. How often do you stop and ACTIVELY reflect on what went well in your day, focusing on your successes instead of just the challenges?

Question Title

* 8. When you have a big goal in mind, do you ACTIVELY break it down into smaller tasks that can be done each day/each week?

Question Title

* 9. How often do you ACTIVELY make time to connect with the people in your life that make you feel celebrated, not tolerated? Put another way, how often do you get to spend time with people who know and appreciate the REAL you?

Question Title

* 10. How often do you ACTIVELY take a moment to check in on your own vulnerable child or other internal parts to see how they're coping with everything?

Question Title

* 11. How often do you feel comfortable reaching out for OR accepting kindness from others? (i.e., how often do you ask for OR accept help when you need it)?

Question Title

* 12. How often do you respond to yourself with kindness and/or compassion when you've made a mistake?

Question Title

* 13. How often do you prioritise your own plans and the activities you enjoy, OVER requests from others or work deadlines? (i.e., how often do you go ahead with your own plans, even when a client or a friend calls up last minute and needs something from you?)

Question Title

* 14. How often do you really, seriously laugh? Like a kid trying not to laugh in class, holding your sides, belly-laughing?

And finally...

Question Title

* 15. How often do you feel GOOD ENOUGH to just BE in the therapy room with your clients? (As opposed to feeling pressured to always be DOING more?)

Question Title

* 16. If you would be willing to complete another 10-15 mins worth of questionnaires, please leave your email address in the comment box below (this is completely separate from the SPARKS eBook request above and you will NOT be added to any mailing lists by leaving your email here).

We will then, manually send you a link to 5 additional questionnaires that will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete. This will assist us in understanding how well the SPARKS domains and this questionnaire correlate with established measures of compassion satisfaction and burnout.

Thank you for completing the SPARKS quiz - I hope it ignited something in you!
