Editorial review: Pending manual editorial sign off ## Before you begin - [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions. - [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative. ## Canonical source context This lesson teaches a supervised recovery cycle around a repeatable low-stakes demand: define the stressor, capture several channels, end the demand, use one approved recovery action, sample at fixed times and judge return to function rather than one device number. The provider controls the stressor and recovery plan. Target outcome: Across two provider-approved sessions, the learner follows the recovery plan and records feeling, body, thinking and function at fixed times without prolonging or intensifying the stressor. ### Authority and setup conditions - Prepare a qualified stress-recovery plan around one mild repeatable demand such as a timed but harmless sorting task - Before the first stress recovery attempt, write the exact result you will score: Time for feeling, physiology, thinking and chosen function to recover after a named stressor. - The provider checks trauma, cardiovascular/respiratory concerns, panic, current crisis, medications and whether the mild demand is appropriate. - Predeclare the demand length, recovery action, sampling times and maximum distress. ### Required or supplied materials - a qualified stress-recovery plan around a repeatable low-stakes demand. - A provider-approved mild task, clock and 0–10 ratings for feeling, body activation, thought capture and functional readiness. - The chosen recovery support, stop plan and optional validated sensor whose data remain secondary. ## 1. Define the mild demand Write the exact task, duration, expected difficulty and stop threshold with the provider. Why: A stable, mild stressor is needed before recovery times can be compared. Success check: The demand and maximum intensity are explicit and provider-approved. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The demand and maximum intensity are explicit and provider-approved.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. Take a quiet baseline Before the task, rate feeling, body activation, thought capture and ability to do the next ordinary action. Record any sensor value without interpreting it alone. Why: Several channels create a fuller baseline than one pulse or mood number. Success check: All four channels and any support are recorded at the same time. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “All four channels and any support are recorded at the same time.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 3. Complete only the declared demand Run the task for the agreed interval. Stop on time even if unfinished and do not add surprise difficulty. Why: A controlled endpoint makes recovery start measurable. Success check: The task ends at the planned time without escalation. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The task ends at the planned time without escalation.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 4. Mark recovery time zero At the end, put materials down, note the exact time and take the same four ratings. Why: A clear time-zero prevents an unknown delay from distorting recovery estimates. Success check: The first post-demand sample occurs within the agreed window. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The first post-demand sample occurs within the agreed window.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 5. Use one approved recovery action Follow the provider-selected option, such as quiet seated orientation, gentle movement or ordinary paced breathing, for the set interval. Why: One bounded action allows its benefit and burden to be observed. Success check: The action is completed without dizziness, pain, dissociation or added distress. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The action is completed without dizziness, pain, dissociation or added distress.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 6. Sample at fixed times Repeat the four ratings at five, fifteen and thirty minutes or the provider’s schedule. Do not sample only when feeling better. Why: Fixed sampling shows different recovery rates across channels. Success check: Every planned time point is present, including unchanged or worse values. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Every planned time point is present, including unchanged or worse values.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 7. Test ordinary function At the provider-approved point, complete one benign action such as reading a paragraph or choosing between two options. Why: Recovery includes usable function, not only a lower feeling or sensor value. Success check: The action meets its simple accuracy rule without extra support. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The action meets its simple accuracy rule without extra support.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 8. Review rebound and adapt Later that day and next morning, record rebound, sleep and avoidance. The provider decides whether to keep, change or stop the plan. Why: Delayed cost can be missed by an immediate calm score. Success check: The decision uses immediate and delayed results, not one best number. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The decision uses immediate and delayed results, not one best number.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## Reflection What changed? ________________________________________________________________________________ What remains difficult? ________________________________________________________________________________ What will I repeat, adapt, ask for help with, or stop? ________________________________________________________________________________ --- Completion of this worksheet demonstrates tutorial participation only.
