Fictional example: Lee wants a predictable check-in time rather than constant questioning.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Short-term agreements can create predictability while longer-term choices remain open.
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 limited, voluntary agreement about contact, privacy, or scheduling and set a review time; exclude forced surveillance.
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 agreement is clear, consensual, and reviewable? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
