This is the "Journey Mapping Tool," a therapeutic resource designed to help clients explore and reflect on their gender identity journey in a clinical setting.
 
Key features and uses of the tool:
The tool is divided into three main sections:
Journey Mapping: Helps clients explore their past, present, and future relationship with their gender identity through questions about early awareness, key milestones, current understanding, and future vision.
Support Circle: A visual activity where clients can map their support system in three concentric circles (inner circle for closest support, middle circle for additional support, and outer circle for potential future support).
Personal Reflection: Focuses on internal strengths, needs, and actionable steps forward.
Important usage guidelines:
It's meant to be used as a supplementary therapeutic aid, not for diagnostic purposes
Emphasizes client autonomy and self-paced exploration
There are no "right" or "wrong" answers
Clients can choose what they want to share
Can be revisited periodically as a "living document"
Helps facilitate discussions about advocacy, safety planning, and connecting with affirming resources
 
The tool can be particularly useful for:
Initial exploration sessions
Building rapport and trust
Understanding client history and needs
Creating opportunities for storytelling and reflection
Supporting ongoing discussions about gender identity in a structured but flexible way
 
The tool includes emotional check-ins (emoji scale) and emphasizes creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their gender identity journey at their own pace.
