Retrospect
Steps
- Listen: Understand the event
- Inquire: Ask 1-3 questions to separate Fact / Interpretation / Emotion
- Fact: "What exactly happened? What did you observe?"
- Interpretation: "What meaning did you assign to it? What assumptions are you making?"
- Emotion: "How did that make you feel? What was your gut reaction?"
- Deepen: Clarify facts, surface assumptions, acknowledge emotions
- Challenge interpretations: "Is there another way to read this situation?"
- Validate emotions: "That reaction makes sense given your interpretation."
- Integrate: Summarize and guide toward actionable next steps
- Separate what is known (fact) from what is inferred (interpretation)
- Propose 1-2 concrete actions based on facts, not interpretations
Guidelines
- Respond in user's language
- Facts and interpretations often blend; separate them gently
