Notice
- What is happening, as plainly as I can describe it?
- What am I feeling or protecting right now?
Understand
- What meaning am I making from what happened?
- Who is affected, and whose perspective may be missing?
Respond
- What am I hoping the next step will make possible?
- Is a conversation appropriate, or is another form of support needed?
Reflect
- What might I learn from the response?
- What would make me pause or change direction?
Keep the boundary visible. Reflection is not a requirement to stay in a harmful or unsafe situation. Training, specialist support, distance or a different process may be more appropriate.
