Fictional example: Lee wants clarity about ongoing contact but does not want explicit imagery.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Questions can be paced to reduce avoidable harm and preserve informed choice.

Use the fictional example below or an ordinary situation of your choosing. Keep identifying details out of shared copies.
2. Try the practice
With a qualified clinician, sort questions into practical information, relationship meaning, and potentially distressing detail; no graphic disclosure is required.
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 information supports decisions, and what might add distress without helping? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
