Fictional example: Noah wants to discuss a broken agreement without being pressured into exhaustive detail.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Disclosure decisions should consider safety, relevance, and professional support.

Use the fictional example below or an ordinary situation of your choosing. Keep identifying details out of shared copies.
2. Try the practice
Sort information needed for an informed relationship decision from explicit detail that may not help; do not require a confession or graphic account.
3. Compare possibilities
