Fictional example: Noah did not follow a mutually stated device-use agreement.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Repair can acknowledge actual impact while avoiding stigmatizing labels.
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
Draft an accountable statement, a consent-based next step, and a realistic review plan when an agreed boundary was breached.
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 action addresses the breach without demanding immediate trust? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
