You know goals are important for therapy, but how do you actually set them? Dr. Yadegarfard breaks down the powerful SMART framework and shows you how to apply this strategic tool to your mental health journey. Stop relying on vague hopes like "I want to be happier" and learn how to create a clear, actionable, and measurable roadmap for change. This episode is essential for maximizing your progress in therapy.

You'll learn:

• How to turn a vague goal (e.g., "be less stressed") into a clear, measurable plan.
• What each letter of the SMART acronym (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) means for your well-being.
• Why setting achievable goals is a key strategy for maintaining motivation.
• The difference between a short-term goal and a long-term goal in a therapeutic context.
