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.
Before looking back
Choose one ordinary attempt or decide to review the fictional example instead. This journal has no scores, required disclosure, or expectation of progress.
Revisit the practice
Design one small cooperative action that respects your energy and the other person's preferences.
Notice context and impact
Record what actually happened, including an unhelpful or neutral outcome. Note resources, power differences, accessibility, and changed conditions rather than attributing everything to personal effort.
Choose a revision
How can contribution remain mutual? Keep the approach, change one part, ask for support, or set it aside. A mismatch is useful information.
