The idea

Review supports learning and adaptation rather than scoring recovery.

An ordinary example

Casey's action plan worked once and needs a new transport option.

What this can look like

Summarize one skill attempted, what happened, current needs, and a question for the next collaborative session.

A useful distinction

A personal recovery goal and a symptom-management strategy serve related but different purposes; the person defines what a meaningful life includes.
