  1. Test Again:

  • Evaluate effectiveness.

  • How do you know if your coping strategies work?

  1. Exit:

  • Focus on the outcome.

  • What indicates progress or success?

Why Does It Work?

  • Feedback Loop: TOTE creates a dynamic loop—test, adjust, retest.

  • Adaptability: It allows fine-tuning based on real-world results.

  • Conscious Choices: Clients make intentional decisions.
