Fragmentation Processing

For many clients, repeated service disruptions can create experiences of grief, loss, and helplessness. This exercise helps clients process such experiences within their broader context.

Discussion Prompts

• What has your experience been with having to start over frequently?

• What messages have these experiences given you about yourself?

• What would it mean to you if these problems were systemic rather than personal shortcomings?

• What have you lost because of these disruptions?

• What are you tired of handling alone?

• What would you want me/other providers to understand about your experience?

Goal

Help clients externalize systemic barriers, reduce self-blame, and process losses associated with disruptions. This in turn helps develop a more compassionate understanding of their experiences.
