Translator disclaimer

As a patient and a therapist, the author has been passionate about and devoted to helping herself and others create life scripts by which people can thrive instead of just survive. Change is inevitable, and a Plan B perspective helps individuals prepare for it and to expect the unexpected, whether that means a mistake or just a different situation than they anticipated. This article offers suggestions for how to learn from mistakes by redefining script and miniscript drivers to create options for optimal outcomes. Techniques to promote resiliency and adaptability are emphasized.
