Question vague labels and proposed mechanisms · S15.9

Ask what is meant by an emotional block

A vague label is being used to explain why something is difficult.

Consider a practice claim

Try these steps

  1. Describe the actual difficulty in observable terms.
  2. Ask what evidence supports the label and whether practical, physical, relational, or informational factors need consideration.
  3. Choose an appropriate question or support route rather than searching your body for a hidden block.

An example

I have trouble starting this task; unclear instructions may be part of it.

Reflect

Did a specific description help more than the label?

Next time

Use language that points to a real next step.
