Fictional example: Casey wants treatment that fits work hours and cultural preferences.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Treatment planning benefits from the person's priorities and informed questions.

Use the fictional example below or an ordinary situation of your choosing. Keep identifying details out of shared copies.
2. Try the practice
List desired benefits, concerns, preferences, and practical barriers to discuss with the care team.
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 tradeoff or concern needs a clearer conversation? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
