Authentic Routine 

SMART’s goal of treatment is to create The Authentic Routine or integrated personalized rituals. These occur after we deconstruct the vicious stories which prevent a client from experiencing the raw aliveness of emotion and sensation. Authentic Routines help clients to constantly integrate disowned emotions and bodily sensations because the process of the creation is based on fully integrated motivation, earlier identification of avoidance techniques or procrastination strategies, and acceptance of responsibility for one’s own emotions and sensations.

​

Maintenance Check-in for re-evaluation

After creating the Authentic Routine, treatment outcomes start to rely on the client’s motivation and their daily practice outside of the therapy sessions. The therapist’s role is to help clients to be aware of their hindrances and resistances to disciplining themselves to implement and practice self-created Authentic Routines. Even though clients succeed in the implementation of Authentic Routines, a therapist helps to evaluate the effectiveness of current routines as an outside observer. The implementation and creation of Authentic Routines are an open and never-ending process, same as our overall growth. The Check-in occurs every two weeks to four weeks to re-evaluate the effectiveness of the Authentic Routine and motivation of clients.
