The Pause Before the Story

Describe the situation. What did your loved one do or not do?

What did you notice in your body? (Chest tight, jaw clenched, stomach dropping, etc.)

What was the story your nervous system wrote? (The first-draft interpretation)

What was the feeling underneath the story? (Scared, exhausted, helpless, invisible, etc.)

What need of yours got activated? (To see progress, to not be alone in this, etc.)

With the story paused — what might they have been feeling? Was this the illness talking?
