Cognitive Interweave Menu
Interweaves for stalled processing
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?
