Client Instructions:
Choose items that you circled on the “Tracking Your
Shifts: The One Hundred”, and mark them down on
this sheet.
Then assign their DIFs:
Duration
(how long that item lasts when it happens),
Intensity
(how intense it is when it happens, on a scale
of 0-10) and
Frequency
(how often this item happens
per day or per week) for each item.
In the following example, we will use feeling
frustrated as the item we wish to track.
Duration:
When you feel frustrated, how long does it
last? Is it a few minutes? A few hours? Estimate this,
not counting when you are asleep and write it down for
each item.
Intensity:
What is the average intensity, 0-10 of your
frustration level when it happens?
Frequency:
Using the past week as a guide, ask
yourself “How often was I frustrated”? You can write
down how many times you experienced something
(3, for e.g.), but if you have a lot of something it is
easier to ask “How many days this week did I feel
angry”? So if you felt angry every day last week, your
number would be 7/7 (7 days out of 7). If something
happens really often, measure how many times per
day it is happening. It can also be interesting to log
what triggers the item and how you deal with it when it
happens.
Trainer Instructions:
On this sheet you will simply double check if
the DIFS (Duration, Intensity, Frequency) have
actually been assigned to each item the Client
wrote down. If they have not, ask questions.
