THE JOURNAL YOUR THERAPIST ASKED YOU TO KEEP
Arrive at your therapy session with something honest to say
When your therapist asks what happened over the last two weeks, you no longer have to rely on vague memory. Kept records your entries between appointments and delivers a one-page summary with counted facts and your own quoted sentences.
The common dilemma
Most therapy clients intend to journal between sessions, but blank page fatigue sets in by day three. When session day arrives, recency bias takes over: you talk about whatever happened yesterday rather than the patterns that occurred across the full fortnight.
How Kept structures this workflow
You write entries whenever something happens during the week. On the morning of your session, Kept delivers a one-page summary listing your counted writing days, verbatim sentences you wrote, and three reflection questions to ground your conversation.
The workflow in 3 steps
Choose your session cadence
Select how often you meet your therapist (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) and which day your summary should be ready.
Write freely between appointments
Record short or long entries. Your words stay encrypted on your device with no accounts or sync servers.
Read your one-page summary
Review counted figures, verbatim quotes, and three reflection questions before walking into your session.
Why this matters
Eliminate Recency Bias
Reviewing exact quotes from ten days ago ensures you discuss what actually happened rather than yesterday's mood.
Absolute Privacy
Therapy notes contain your most personal thoughts. Kept stores everything in an encrypted SQLite database on your device.
Zero Pressure
No streak badges or daily scoreboards. If you write twice in a fortnight, Kept summarizes those two entries accurately.
Frequently asked questions
Does Kept replace my therapist?
No. Kept is a personal writing and organisation tool. It records and summarises what you wrote so you can bring clear notes to your human therapist.
Can I show the summary to my therapist?
Yes. The summary is formatted as a single clean page designed to be read in under two minutes or printed out.
