Together with a client, you can also fill in the behavioural experiment 

• In the toolbar, select:  Exercise 
• Select: Behaviour experiment -> Fill in with client

You can fill in the following steps: 

1. Unhelpful thought and credibility on a scale: 0-100%
2. Helping thought and credibility on a scale: 0-100%
3. Description of the experiment
4. Description of two possible outcomes
5. Title (optional)
6. Date & time for experiment deadline
7. Notification for the client on/off 🔔 
    

Execution and reflection 

In the app, the client chooses whether one of the two predicted outcomes was correct (or a third, alternative outcome). 
The client again scores the credibility (0-100%) of both thoughts and reflects on the experiment. 

A completed behaviour experiment is identified on your client's 'Data' tab by the green tick.
