A trainer uses self-reflection logs to help clients discover their own answers instead of giving direct advice. By recording their thoughts and habits, clients spot problem areas like poor nutrition and become accountable for finding solutions themselves.
People come to me for answers, but I insist that the answers are within them, right? And this again comes back to the topic of this module, which is understanding your client better than they understand themselves. I'm also going to help clients help them understand themselves better by forcing them in ways to keep a log, to get them to self-reflect. If the client implements only the self-reflection log, you don't give them any advice whatsoever, they become more responsible for choice. They realize they don't eat well, they have clearly stated their problems, and this allows for a solution.
