How the practice works

1. Read the frame This comes from practitioner tradition rather than clinical trials. People often find it useful. That isn't the same as evidence that it works.
2. Name the situation Name one specific present situation without unnecessary identifying details.
3. Record what you notice What is one honest observation or next behaviour you choose?
