Fictional example: Morgan values community and creative work but has little time for either.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Work, friendship, and intimacy can be examined without imposing one life path.
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
Create personally chosen life-task areas and notice where resources and demands are uneven.
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
Which area matters to you, rather than to someone else's expectations? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
