1 Client considering Selected Experience Timeline for one current situation
Context

A client brings a situation related to Selected Experience Timeline. Confirm the client's words, observations, interpretations, unknowns, goal, privacy needs, consent, access needs, and preferred scope.

How to Introduce

Offer the tool as optional. Explain its limited job, distinguish it from nearby tools, and confirm language, access, privacy, consent, and scope.

What to Watch For

Keep observations client-owned. Do not infer a diagnosis, hidden motive, fixed trait, cause, treatment, measurement, truth, risk, priority, or correct decision from an answer, blank, selection, rating, difficulty, or repetition.

Debrief

Ask what the client observed, what remains interpreted or unknown, and whether one optional question, support, experiment, referral, or no next step would be useful.

Flags

Not therapy, diagnosis, medical, financial, tax, accounting, investment, legal, or employment advice. Adapt or stop for distress or risk; use qualified or emergency support when appropriate.
