Fictional example: Rae observes one transition after work instead of monitoring every feeling.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Observation practice need not become constant self-monitoring.
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 one ordinary moment to notice during the week, define a short time limit, and decide when to stop tracking.
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 is enough noticing for this experiment? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
