You’ve done the trainings. Maybe you’re mid-certification right now.
You know the moment. The session ends and the self-doubt starts.
You replay the last 10 minutes of session.
“Did I say the right thing?”
“Did I overreach?”
“Why didn’t I use this intervention?”
“Why am I so exhausted?”
“I thought I was good at this, but now I’m not sure..”
You wonder if you’re even cut out for this- even though therapy is your calling, not just a job.
If you’re anything like most of the practitioners I work with, you’ve already asked yourself these exact questions.
Here’s what I’ve learned after years of sitting with these myself:
You have skills. You have presence. But being present with yourself in the moment is what lets your skills actually come online.
You can have years of training and still freeze or disappear in a hard moment. Not because you’re untrained, but because you couldn’t access it in the moment. When you feel able to notice yourself and your client at the same time, you start to feel more steady. And when you’re steady, all of your training stops being buried under the pressure to perform and starts being available to you.
You don’t need to choose between skill and presence. You need a way to return to yourself, so that the skills you already have can show up in the room.
You need a practice of Noticing.
Noticing is a practice. It’s a muscle you build just like any other skill.

That’s 30 days of practicing to notice what’s important, what went well, what could be improved. That information is invaluable. And now, after practicing, you’ll start to see more of it.
Presence isn't something you either have or don't have.
It's something you practice.
Over time, you may notice:
You recover more easily after difficult sessions.
You spend less time replaying whether you “got it right.”
You recognize when you're overextending before resentment builds.
You can stay present without getting exhausted and overwhelmed.
You trust your clinical instincts more readily.
You leave sessions feeling more connected to yourself.
You leave sessions feeling like your work was in alignment with your values and skills.

Hi I’m Sanaa Hyder, LMHC
I’m a psychotherapist, STAIR-certified clinician, relationship coach, group facilitator, and consultant who has spent more than a decade working with people around self-trust and emotional resilience using neuroscience-informed approaches.
30 Days of Presence grew out of my own experience in gaining self-trust in my work and in guiding other clinicians to turn towards themselves, to notice, and to stay connected to themselves while in session.
How is this different from other journals and workbooks?
You’ve probably bought journals and workbooks before.
You may even have a stack of thoughtful books on your desk—and countless PDFs sitting in your downloads folder.
This is different.
30 Days of Presence is a structured practice designed specifically for the moments when your training becomes harder to access: after a difficult session, when you’re questioning yourself, when you’re carrying a client’s words with you for the rest of the day, or when you feel yourself beginning to disconnect.
The goal isn’t to become a better journaler.
It’s to become more available to yourself while you’re doing the work.
This is a guide to practicing noticing, because what you notice gives you information, and information gives you more choice in how you respond.
A 30-day guided journal for therapists and practitioners. A space to pause after sessions, reflect on what you’re carrying, and stay compassionately connected to yourself in your work.
Because noticing isn't just reflection. It's information.
You finish a session and think:
“I’m so agitated”
“I’m bored.”
“My client isn’t changing.”
“I keep thinking about my clients for hours, even when I just want to rest.”
And you might think that you’re not good at therapy anymore. Or that it’s “a lot”.
Your noticing practice will offer you a pause.
Wait. Notice what happened.
And when you pause to notice, your agitation, hopelessness or regret may actually be showing you…
a boundary that could be helpful
a new approach
a need for repair
something you need to tend to inside yourself
an idea for a skill to use with your client
or something else…..
That’s why noticing matters.
It’s more than noting down your feelings after a session. It’s professional practice. So when you notice what you're feeling, carrying, avoiding, wanting, or wondering, you have more information to work with. You can make a different choice instead of automatically moving into self-doubt, overthinking, shame, overextending, or disconnection.
30 Days of Presence gives you a structured way to notice what's happening inside you, in your work, and in the space between you and your client—so you can return to yourself - steady and capable.
