In-Session Guide

Seven phases. One complete session.

A complete walkthrough of the PPU clinical session protocol — from opening safety to identity consolidation. Use this as your reference guide for every session.

PPU Seven-Phase Clinical Session Framework
The Seven-Phase Protocol

Every phase, in order

Every session follows this order. You cannot rush the steps. Each one earns the next. The protocol is designed to be repeated — consistency is how identity formation occurs.

1
PILA Cards — Safety First
Show cards like “I Won’t Rush You” and “You Belong Here.” Nothing else happens until the child feels safe. Safety is not a warm-up — it is the foundation everything is built on.
2
Feelings Intensity Scale — Find Where You Are
Ten cards from completely calm to completely overwhelmed. The child simply points. No words needed. In that one gesture, the session finds its starting point.
3
Anchor Cards — Find Your Words
“I Am Enough.” “I Belong.” “I Feel Safe.” The child picks the ones that feel true — or the ones they wish were true. They don’t have to believe it yet. That is exactly the point.
4
Modal Sentences — Open Possibility
A gentle shift from “I must” and “I can’t” to “I could” and “I might.” One small change in language. A measurable shift in the brain. The door to possibility opens.
5
Power Action Cards — Choose One Thing
The session ends with one card the child chooses for themselves. It goes home with them. Not an assignment. A choice. Their choice.
6
Modal Sequences — See the Whole Journey
Three-stage cards showing the complete arc in one — “I could → try something new → BRAVE.” The child sees the whole story of who they are becoming.
7
Session Export — Record & Report
The digital portal logs all cards shown, responses recorded, and phases completed. Export session notes directly from the portal for your clinical records.
