As I hope you can see in the picture above, text explains things and gives instructions. There are boxes in which to write responses, perhaps a sentence or two or some key words. However, once people begin LEAP they soon learn they want to write a lot and so create a separate notebook in which to write extensive comments. There are several ways for the readers to do something with what they learn about themselves, including practice applying what they've learned abut a Pattern in order to revise it in some way.

When I conduct LEAP with individuals, couples, groups, and classes, I make sure participants know they are expected to spend at least an hour or two between sessions, preparing for the next one. Many people spend more time than that, and write detailed notes to themselves and reminders of things they want to talk about! LEAP is an excellent way to raise topics to be used in personal development or counseling sessions. LEAP is a good way for individuals or couples to prepare for formal counseling in just a dozen sessions. It can be used with the 4th Step of a 12-Step program, or as a self-contained way to increased personal development and self-education.
