Full-resolution WebP artwork with print-safe margins. Review the guidance below before use.

How to use it

  1. Write or draw the worry on the roots or trunk, only if you want.
  2. Use the branches to explore what is known, what is uncertain, and whether any action is possible now.
  3. Choose a small action, a scheduled revisit, support, or no further work for now.

Reflection prompts

  • What part of the worry needs attention now, if any?
  • What part could be revisited at a specific time?
  • What would help you return to the present after this page?

Facilitator guidance

Use scheduled revisiting as a way to organize attention, not suppress thoughts. Validate realistic concerns and avoid treating every worry as hypothetical.

Adaptations & accessibility

  • Use removable notes so items can move between branches.
  • Complete the map verbally or with symbols.
  • Offer a simple action/revisit/unsure version.
