Notes:

Give the hidden/psychological details of the incident. Note the real intentions, as best as you can tell. Note the intended negative pay-off. A negative payoff is one that is not really in the best interests of the person, even if desired by the person. It might mean the person loses money, or wastes time, or loses face, or has his person or property damaged, or his feelings damaged. A person can be satisfied and noble about being hurt, a sort of beautiful sadness — this is still a negative payoff.

If the item is so hot for you that you can't think straight and just writing some details like this doesn't cool it off enough, pick one of the other options. Either:

  • end the session and then start a proper Rogerian session on that topic, making use of the different possibilities in all the extra screens. Click on the 2nd link, or
  • end the session and go do something else to cool it off, like take a walk or go to the gym or whatever. Click the 3rd link.
