• You do not need to know what you do not know.

• This short series of guided questions helps determine the level of planning that fits your work

• There are no right or wrong answers. You do not need exact numbers. You may stop at any time.

• Whether you identify any continuity-of-care gaps that concern you.

• Whether a family member or a professional should practice matters if something happens .

• Whether you see any continuity gaps that concern you.

QUESTION 1

01 When it comes to planning for the unexpected, which feels more true right now?

By “basics,” we mean having clear instructions in place so others know what to do if something happens.

QUESTION 2

02 If something happened that affected your ability to do your work, would you want your family handling practice-related tasks?

“Practice-related tasks” can include things like notifying clients, coordinating records, or handling administrative steps. This does not mean providing care or therapy.

QUESTION 3

03 About how many active clients do you work with right now?

You don’t need to be exact. This just helps us understand the general size of your caseload.

QUESTION 4

04 If your work had to stop suddenly, would some of your clients likely feel distressed or need extra support?

This is about impact, not diagnosis. Think about whether a sudden interruption would be difficult for some clients.

QUESTION 5

05 Which feels more true for you right now?

By “gaps,” we mean unanswered questions, such as who would handle next steps, where important information lives, or how clients would be supported if your work were suddenly interrupted. You don’t need to have this figured out yet.

QUESTION 6

06 When you think about this plan, which would make you feel more secure?

“Durable and detailed” means a plan that can handle changes over time, such as shifts in your caseload, practice structure, or responsibilities. You don’t need to anticipate everything — this just reflects how much structure you want built in.
