Fictional example: Avery wants more room for friendship and rest.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Values can be explored across life areas without assuming one ideal life path.
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
Map personally relevant areas such as relationships, community, work, rest, creativity, or spirituality.
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
Which area needs attention according to your priorities? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
