Areas › Anger › Choosing your response
This bites hardest when the attendance was ordered rather than chosen. A better question at the end of each week is what you practised and what happened when you did. Even one honest attempt between appointments gives you and whoever is helping you something real to look at.
They will be given their rewards twice over because they are steadfast, repel evil with good, give to others out of what We have provided for them (Quran 28:54). The reward is attached to things done, and they are all described in verbs.

Translation: M.A.S. Abdel Haleem, The Qur'an, Oxford University Press, 2004.
Over sixteen sessions of individual therapy for social anxiety, people came to reinterpret situations more often and more successfully and to hold expression in less, and those shifts tracked their symptom improvement. What moved was how they handled feeling, not how many appointments had gone by. One diagnosis and one treatment is a narrow base, so read it as suggestive for anger rather than settled.

Strength of evidence: one line of research. A single study, or a theoretical account.
You are changed by the new thing you keep trying, not by the time you spend sitting near it.
The version of you making sensible plans this afternoon is not the version standing in the kitchen at eleven at night. Plan for the other one.
Offer a practice as a question rather than an instruction. What do you think it would be like to wake yourself up once a day? That is a very different sentence from you should.
One walker keeps a small pebble in his sock on walks he would otherwise take in a daze. Every few steps it says the same thing: you are here, this is now.
