Your person's wishes: what they want to know, leave alone, or have help with; distinguish their words from your hopes
Daniel permitted this note: fewer appointments, no program search. Mae had hoped for something that might ease his distress.
Burdens to weigh: time away, travel, expense, appointments, and what your person would rather spend that time doing
He doesn't want travel or another intake interview. He would rather have his brother visit on Saturday.
Pressure to remove: expectations from you or others, and one thing you can stop saying or doing
Mae kept bringing up articles. She will stop sending them and asking if he has changed his mind.
Choice for now: ask more, pause, or decline; whose choice this is and if they want the subject raised again
Daniel declines and wants to raise the subject himself if he changes his mind. No reminder on the calendar.
Help they want: one permitted task, who will do it, or an instruction to make no further inquiries
No further program inquiries. With permission, Mae will phone his brother about a short visit. They can spend time together without another project.
