Fictional example: Morgan feels welcome in a hobby group but overlooked at work.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Belonging can be explored in social context without requiring conformity.
1. Choose a workable example
Use the fictional example below or an ordinary situation of your choosing. Keep identifying details out of shared copies.
2. Try the practice
Map places where you feel included, excluded, or uncertain and identify one change in access or connection.
3. Compare possibilities
Generate at least two interpretations or options. Mark what you know, what you are guessing, and what remains outside your control.
4. Decide together
Where would belonging require an environmental change? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
