Connecting the Dots Toolbox

Connecting the Dots puts the thirty-seven templates from Connecting the Dots: A Counselor's Toolbox for Better Relationships, by A. Damianakis, on your phone, tablet and computer, word for word as they appear in the book and the printed workbook.

Each template returns one skill to your own participation, how one speaks, listens, interprets, responds, sets a limit, receives a grievance, names X, tends trust, tends what is yours to tend, or takes the next right action, and tends one or more of the three elements: Connection, Communication and Calling.

WORK A TEMPLATE Every template opens with when to use it and its working rule, then the prompts as printed. Your writing saves as you type. Each one closes with its Connect the Dots page and the same Record marks every time: alone or together, the weight of the matter today, a follow-up date, whether the next honest action was taken, and whether the evidence you watched for appeared.

EVERY DAY Name the smallest practice you can repeat (Template 13.2) and mark each day done or not. See your streak and fourteen days at a glance.

PATTERNS Counts and dates from your own entries, each shown with its arithmetic: follow-through, the weight of what you carry over time, what keeps returning, the elements and skills you practice. No score, no ranking, no label on anyone.

YOUR RECORD, ON EVERY DEVICE With Full Access, your entries follow you to any phone, tablet or computer. You choose a username, no email needed. Your entries are locked with a passphrase only you know before they leave your device, so no one else can read them, including the publisher. You can keep everything on one device instead at any time.

SHARE WHEN YOU CHOOSE Make a PDF report of your figures, and if you wish your entries, and send it to a counselor through your phone's own share sheet. Export a spreadsheet or a backup file.

SAFETY FIRST The Private Safety and Good Will Screen from Chapter 18 is free, stays on the device where you write it, and is never counted or shared. Get help and a one-tap Exit are on every screen.

Free: all of Part One and the safety screen. Full Access, one payment: all 37 templates, Patterns, the daily check-in, the report and saving across your devices.
