15 minutes · Worksheet · Adults; supported use as appropriate
Fictional example: Morgan compares a new role with a colleague's ten years of experience.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Feeling less capable need not define overall worth.
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
Name a comparison, the standard behind it, and the contextual information it leaves out.
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
What changes when the comparison includes context? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
