Scenario Workbooks

Use the workbook that fits the situation.

These are not scripts for getting a particular response. They are practical structures for making a deliberate choice when contact feels loaded.

Workbook A

Practical contact

Use this for belongings, shared costs, housing, children, schedules, or another responsibility where contact may be necessary.

Workbook B

Requested space

Use this when someone has asked for distance, blocked contact, or left you unclear about what contact would respect.

Workbook C

One repair attempt

Use this only when you can state a clear purpose, there is no safety concern, and you can accept silence or a no.

What every workbook asks

  • What exactly needs to be communicated?
  • Is there consent, a boundary, or a practical reason that changes the answer?
  • What will you do if there is a delay, a short reply, silence, or a no?
  • What action can support you that does not depend on the other person?
