Fictional example: Avery notices avoidance of an ordinary conversation and considers a brief honest message.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. A choice can be examined for its likely direction without moral scoring.
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 a difficult situation, familiar responses, and a small action that moves toward a chosen quality.
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 action moves in the direction you choose? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
