Prepare questions about a distress-management technique

You encountered a named technique and want to know whether it is suitable for you.

Prepare for professional guidance

Try these steps

1. Write the name of the technique and what you hope it would help with.
2. List the questions you need answered about suitability, physical requirements, alternatives, and when to stop.
3. Discuss those questions with an appropriately qualified professional before trying a physically demanding technique.

An example

I have read about TIPP. I want to ask which parts, if any, fit my health circumstances and what alternatives I could use.

Reflect

Do the questions cover your individual circumstances and preferences?

Next time

Record the guidance you receive in your own words and clarify anything uncertain.
