Fictional example: Morgan offers to share transport planning rather than taking over everyone's arrangements.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Contribution can include mutual care and receiving support.

Design one small cooperative action that respects your energy and the other person's preferences.
3. Compare possibilities
Generate at least two interpretations or options. Mark what you know, what you are guessing, and what remains outside your control.
