Investigate your topic in depth; do not provide a broad survey of the topic.

As you conduct your research, your primary focus must be on treatment options that will equip your clients to move forward from where they are to where they want to be. Your focus will be on helping them to expand their shared vision, build their confidence, unlock their potential, increase their skills, and take practical steps towards their goals.
