Understanding the situation
Goals & constraints
You want to act responsibly and avoid regret — neither rushing into invasive treatment nor delaying action that could prevent future harm. We clarify what you seek most: symptom relief, long-term safety, independence, or peace of mind.
Options
We outline the realistic pathways available: continue monitoring and management, pursue partial or full intervention, or combine both approaches over time. Each is structured clearly so you can compare what’s actually on the table.
Uncertainties
We surface what’s known, unknown, and variable — success rates, side-effects, recovery time, and the influence of your personal context. You’ll see where uncertainty is medical, and where it’s about your own preferences and priorities.
Criteria & trade-offs
Relief, risk, recovery time, lifestyle impact, cost, and reversibility become explicit decision criteria. You’ll understand which factors matter most to you and how each option performs across them.
Talk it through
Sometimes the hardest part is making sense of what’s going on. If you’d like to talk it through, I offer a free 30-minute clarity call to map your situation together.
The CoreFrame 4D™ approach
How we reach clarity
01 Diagnose
Clarify what decision you actually face · Distinguish medical facts from interpretations and assumptions · Identify what you need to know before choosing · Define what “a good outcome” means for you personally.
02 Design
Outline possible paths — active treatment, conservative management, combined or staged options · Map their practical, emotional, and time implications · Identify information gaps and ways to close them.
03 Decide
Compare options systematically · Evaluate each against your criteria and risk tolerance · Quantify uncertainty and trade-offs · Arrive at a reasoned, documented decision you can stand behind.
04 Do
Implement your choice safely and deliberately · Prepare communication and coordination with professionals · Define review points and fallback plans · Track recovery or progression and adjust as needed.
