Version 1.0 // Initial Boot
The Real Talk
Let's be honest—most people don't exactly beg to come to these sessions. On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is "I'd rather be doing literally anything else" and 10 is "I'm hyped," where are you sitting right now?
1-2 Forced Attendance
3-4 Waste of Time
5-6 It's Fine
7-8 Might Help
9-10 Full Send

Heavy Rotation
Who's at the top of your Spotify/Apple Music right now?

No Skips
Is there an album or song that has zero bad parts?
"Music is the only thing that makes sense when nothing else does."

Are you a Netflix/Hulu binger, a YouTube rabbit-hole diver, or a TikTok scroller? What's the last thing you watched that was actually good?
Series / Anime
Movies
The Field
Do you play sports, watch them, or avoid them at all costs? Who's your team, or do you have a personal hobby (skating, gym, etc.)?
"I don't care about sports" is a valid answer.

Facilitating the "Pulse Check" with Resistant Teens
Teacher Resource
The Goal: Rapport First
Resistance is often a defense mechanism. By using high-interest, low-stakes slides, you're signaling that this space is different from a traditional classroom or a disciplinary office.
Mirroring Language
Use the student's terms. If they say "Phonk," don't call it "electronic music." Mirroring their vocabulary builds subconscious trust and shows you're listening.
Low Pressure
If a student gives a one-word answer, don't push immediately. Move to the next slide. The "Would You Rather" rounds are designed to loosen up the conversation.
Facilitation Notes
01
The "Real Talk" Slide
"On a scale of 1-10, where are you sitting right now?"
The Move: Validate any answer, especially low ones. If they say "1," respond with: "I appreciate the honesty. My goal is to at least get it to a 3 by the time we're done today." This shows you can handle their negativity without getting defensive.
02
Digital Habits & Audio Feed
The Move: Don't just ask questions—share a bit of yours (if appropriate). "I'm a terrible gamer, but I've been watching some [Show Name] lately." Giving a little vulnerability makes them more likely to reciprocate. If they don't play games, focus on YouTube or music.
03
The "Would You Rather" Rounds
The Move: These are meant to be fast. Use them to observe their decision-making style. Do they pick immediately? Do they over-analyze? Use follow-up questions like "Why the high-speed internet over the snacks?" to get them talking about their logic.
04
The "Space Control" Finale
The Move: This slide is the most important for the therapeutic alliance. It gives them autonomy. Whatever they pick, respect it in the following sessions. If they pick "D" (I'll let you know when I trust you), thank them for the boundary and don't push for deep secrets next time.
The "If/Then" Guide
IF they are completely silent...
THEN say: "No pressure. We can just flip through these and you can just point or nod. We're just setting the vibe."
IF they are trying to shock you (curse, mentions dark themes)...
THEN stay neutral. Say: "Got it. That's a unique take." Focus on the *why* rather than the *what*.
