This two-page client tool introduces the concept of capacity as a genuine physiological resource — distinct from willpower or motivation — and provides a structured weekly log for tracking it between sessions. Clients rate their capacity daily on a 0–10 scale and note what drained it most and what helped restore it.
Includes a clear reference table explaining what each range of the scale means in practical terms, and a guided reflection section on patterns to notice after several weeks of tracking: which environments drain fastest, what genuinely restores capacity, and whether the client is regularly operating below their capacity floor — the earliest indicator of chronic mismatch
Framed explicitly as information rather than a performance metric. Designed to support formulation, pace treatment appropriately, and give clients a non-shaming language for communicating how they are doing between sessions.
Part of the Neurocontextual Systems Therapy (NST) client resource library.
