More About ePST
What is ePST like for a user?
Your virtual coach, an expert in Problem-solving Treatment, is with you at every step, guiding and encouraging you. The coach is not live in real time but our technology makes ePST feel live.
6 weekly online sessions, about 45 minutes each
Start by tackling one problem to try out the steps
The program does not solve your problems – you do that
Your coach helps you take action
Practice with other problems, get feedback, and hone your skills
See your progress each week
ePST also helps you plan enjoyable activities … another important step to helping you feel better.
What problems will I work on?
ePST teaches you to manage practical problems --the kind of daily life issues that can make each day feel like a struggle. Examples are:
conflicts with others
finances
making friends
finding time to study or exercise
managing your health
family issues
ePST does not get into your childhood or past trauma, and it does not ask you to focus on your inner thoughts and feelings.
Logistics: What else do I need to know?
For each session, get set up in a quiet area where you will not be interrupted. If you can’t find a private area, try using earphones/buds.
You get email reminders, but if you miss an ePST session, reschedule to get back on track. Complete all 6 sessions and carry out the between session activities to get the most benefit.
Your coach helps you with the problem-solving steps:
Chose and clarify a problem to solve
Set a short-term goal
Brainstorm potential solutions
Weigh the pros and cons
Choose one or more solutions to try
Make a step-by-step action plan
The next week, together you check on your progress and adjust your plan.
