Fictional example: Lee and Quinn consider how to discuss future contact without exchanging every password.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Transparency should be negotiated rather than imposed through coercive 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
Compare information-sharing options, privacy needs, limits, and the right to seek independent guidance.
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 would informed consent look like for this arrangement? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
