UNDERSTAND
What is happening here?
A global negative story can exclude facts that complicate it. Looking for specific actions does not erase a problem or require a positive identity. It can make the picture more complete and identify a resource that might support the next step.

PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE
How to use it
- Open a fictional action and stay close to what is observable.

- Check another interpretation and let the person decide what meaning fits.

MAKE IT USEFUL
Notice. Discuss. Take one thing.
For thoughtful facilitation
Open with the concept, demonstrate one fictional example, allow individual exploration or paired discussion, and close with one optional takeaway. Ask what fits the participant’s culture, language, access needs, and present capacity. Invite observation instead of disclosure; do not interpret participation as a measure of motivation.
Fit and care: Use manageable or fictional examples and adapt within competence. This is educational practice, not diagnosis, crisis care, or individualized treatment.
