Strategies to help us be Socially Flexible

We practised social flexibility

We used the Working Out Windows Mat to

help think through one of your concerns:

Good for

You would like to

everyone Linda needs to

have time with your

friends uninterrupted Good for you Text each other Good for Linda know you are

without getting lots every 2½ hours definitely safe

of texts / calls

First you said: “Linda can text and if it shows it has been read, she knows I am

ok.”

I imagined being Linda. I didn’t feel I would know you were definitely safe.

You thought of another idea:

“To text each other every 2½ hours.”

I imagined being Linda – that felt a bit better.

I noticed you had already got better at being flexible! You were able to

give up a bit of what you wanted so you and Linda both felt ok. This will make

life better for both of you.
