Anchored by T30 · For the person whose trust was broken · Trigger Log
Give the trigger enough context to recognize it later.
Capture what happened, what you noticed in your reaction, and the surrounding context while the details are still available to you.
What it helps you do
Review recurring situations with more detail and prepare a question, boundary, or support request from what you observed.

Context
Later review
