Fictional example: Morgan organizes every gathering and feels depleted.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Community feeling includes limits and fair distribution of effort.
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 what you offer, what you receive, and what you need to decline in one community role.
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 boundary could make participation more sustainable? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
