Share personally on your own terms · S14.14

Agree on the scope of a personal check-in

Both people want a conversation about how they are doing.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Ask whether each person wants to participate and what level of detail suits them.
2. Agree on listening, advice, privacy, and the right to pause or pass.
3. Share only what you choose and check before asking follow-up questions.

An example

We agree to talk about current needs without revisiting past events tonight.

Reflect

Did the format preserve choice for both people?

Next time

Change the arrangement before another check-in if needed.
