A coping-with-stress workbook can organize demands, available support, and ordinary actions. It should also make room for symptoms that need assessment, rather than assuming every problem can be solved by a relaxation routine.

A worked situation: Repeated errands
Fictional example. A caregiver records tasks, asks a relative for a defined errand, and notices persistent exhaustion. The support request addresses a demand; medical assessment may address a different part of the problem.
Workbook sequence: demand, options, support
Session 1: describe the demand and its effect on ordinary duties. Session 2: separate an action you own from a change that requires agreement. Session 3: identify practical support and a question for it. Session 4: review what changed and which health concern needs clinical advice. The workbook organizes a discussion; it is not a stress-treatment protocol or a test that symptoms are harmless.
