Analyst: Name one finding that would change the next action, then test for it. Strategist: Compare two courses of action and make the trade-off visible. Choose one compatible step together and review whether it helped.

Begin with Messenger's own practice: Stay present in a difficult conversation instead of escaping into another exchange. Ask whether Reformer's perspective offers useful support; it must not replace the recipient's goal.
