Cognitive Interweave Menu

Interweaves for stalled processing

TherapistAssist logo

When processing stalls, a cognitive interweave restarts adaptive processing. Menu options grouped by responsibility, safety, and choice — Shapiro's three domains.

Responsibility
  • Whose responsibility was it?
  • Could a child have known / stopped that?
  • Who is responsible now?
Safety
  • Are you safe now?
  • Is it over?
  • What resources do you have now that you didn't have then?
Choice / Power
  • What choices do you have now?
  • What would you do if it happened today?
  • What do you want to happen?
