Fictional example: Avery expresses care by sending one check-in message.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. A value becomes more concrete through an observable, feasible action.
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 one quality and design a five-minute action that expresses it within current constraints.
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 is small enough to fit today? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
