Ask about a treatment or specialist exercise · S7.6

Ask questions before trusting a proposed approach

Someone suggests a practice or support arrangement you are uncertain about.

Prepare for professional guidance

Try these steps

1. Write the concern or uncertainty without labeling it resistance.
2. Ask about purpose, evidence, suitability, alternatives, privacy, and how consent or stopping would work.
3. Decide what further information you need before agreeing.

An example

Reflect

Were your questions answered in a way you understood?

Next time

Keep the option to seek another qualified perspective.
