The benefits of measuring progress in therapy

Progress measurement is a tool used to track changes in your symptoms, functioning, therapeutic alliance, etc. It uses a series of questionnaires supported by research which demonstrates that these tools are effective for measuring symptom severity. Progress measurement can be really helpful in several different ways:

• It can help identify specific areas of concern or symptoms that might have otherwise gone unnoticed
• It can be used over time to notice changes such as improvements in symptoms or worsening symptoms
• It provides you with more information about your own progress in treatment which can help you notice gradual changes in symptoms and may help to reassure you that progress is being made
• For therapeutic alliance, it provides you with a space to share your feedback in a questionnaire setting and track how your relationship progresses over time
