A pause for a difficult moment
- Notice what is happening. Name the problem before turning it into a judgment about yourself.
- Check the boundaries. Use the existing safety and readiness guidance. A wish to finish never overrides a reason to stop.
- Choose the next sensible action. That might mean adjusting pace, asking for help or ending the session. There is no requirement to keep going.
