Pause. See more. Choose clearly.

Before the next interaction, bring your processing and the person’s priorities into view.

Notice your state. Consider what’s missing. Choose one useful adjustment.

PRIME → PERFORM → REFLECT → RECALIBRATE

A short pause for more thoughtful participation.

01 / Read state

01 · Notice your state

What does this moment need?

Reflect on your own processing as the therapist. Keep the person, meaningful activity, and environment in view.

Use general descriptions. Leave out client names and identifying details.

Check capacity and support

Three views of my processing

Compare Now with Demand. Shared emphasis is one option; the useful emphasis depends on this situation.

Locality

Internal ↔ External

Where is your information coming from?

Polarity

Vertical ↔ Horizontal

How are you shaping it?

Mark both views to reveal a reflection prompt.

Horizontal: Explore connections, alternatives, and the person–activity–environment context.

Loops

Cortical ↔ Subcortical

What’s guiding your response?

Mark both views to reveal a reflection prompt.
What each brings

Cortical: Organized reasoning, goals, and plans.

Subcortical: Felt meaning, motivation, salience, and urgency.

Keep what is useful. Invite the contribution that the situation needs.

02 · Consider what’s missing

Make room for a better next move.

Separate what you observed from what you assumed. Choose a small adjustment that preserves the person’s agency.

Review pointNo review point named yet.

No before-action snapshot captured.

03 · Reflect & recalibrate

Let the experience inform what comes next.

Compare your expectation with what happened. Carry forward the useful learning.

My before-action snapshot
No snapshot yet. Capture your plan before acting to keep that account separate from later reflection.
Am I keeping measurement connected to meaning, the task connected to context, and support connected to the person’s agency?
Keep the XL2 questions close

Locality

Where is your information coming from?

Relate your internal experience and knowledge to external observation, feedback, and current conditions.

Polarity

How are you shaping it?

Bring a clear priority into focus while remaining open to the wider context and other possibilities.

Loops

What’s guiding your response?

Bring organized thinking into conversation with feeling, felt significance, and motivation.

These are changing functional emphases. Use observation and reflection to judge fit; matching selections alone does not establish it.

Entries stay in this open page unless you choose to remember or export them.
