Fictional example: Alex and Sam agree to clarify weekend plans by a mutually chosen time.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Trust may be supported by observable consistency rather than promises alone.
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
Choose a small agreement, a realistic limit, and a check-in about its impact.
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
How will you learn whether this agreement helps? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
