How the work starts

How the work moves

From pattern to practice.

First we make the pattern easier to see. Then we practice the next response where life actually asks for it.

  1. First, make the map.01

    Clarify

    What needs attention first.

    Map what is happening, what has been tried, and what would make care useful.

    MI + assessment
  2. Then watch the loop.02

    Notice

    Name what keeps looping.

    Track the pattern, what protects it, and what it costs in real life.

    Assessment + mindfulness
  3. Then open a choice.03

    Choose

    Make room before reaction.

    Work with feeling and urge so a different response becomes reachable.

    ACT
  4. Then let it travel.04

    Practice

    Carry the response into life.

    Use the full formulation in relationships, routines, and pressure moments.

    MI + assessment + mindfulness + ACT
