Practices that may help
- Argument Mapping
Argument mapping is the practice of drawing the logical structure of an argument as a diagram — claims, supporting reasons, objections, and rebuttals made spatially explicit. Developed into a pedagogical system by Tim van Gelder, it is one of the few critical-thinking interventions with controlled-study support: students who learned argument mapping showed significantly larger gains in reasoning ability than those in conventional classes. - Name which burners are actually on
Honestly assess how much fuel each of the four domains is receiving right now.
Four Burners Theory: Making Peace With Trade-Offs - Plan in seasons, not permanent allocations
Think of burner settings as seasonal, not fixed — recalibrate at defined intervals.
Four Burners Theory: Making Peace With Trade-Offs - Outsource or delegate to keep a burner lit without your direct fuel
Find ways to maintain a domain’s floor through systems, others, or automation rather than your direct effort.
Four Burners Theory: Making Peace With Trade-Offs - Evaluate the argument structure, not the source
Map the logic and evaluate it independently of who made the argument.
Argument Mapping - Use the map to prepare for known triggers
Before a triggering situation, identify which part is likely to activate and what it will need.
IFS Parts Mapping, Made Practical - IFS Parts Mapping, Made Practical
Parts mapping is an Internal Family Systems (Richard Schwartz) practice of systematically identifying and visually or narratively charting the distinct inner parts — critics, worriers, peacekeepers, wounded exiles — and their relationships to each other. It is a diagnostic and orientation tool: it shows you the terrain of your inner system before you try to work with any single part. Evidence sits within the broader IFS and parts-work literature, which is growing but not yet on par with CBT or DBT. - Add the strongest objection to every major supporting reason
For each supporting reason, find the best counter and put it on the map.
Argument Mapping - Maintain an unsolved problems list
Write down recurring triggers so they become solvable problems rather than repeated emergencies.
Collaborative Problem Solving (Ross Greene) - Set a non-negotiable floor for each burner
Define the minimum for each domain that, if crossed, signals an emergency — and protect those floors.
