Co-Agency Modelling
Definition
Co-agency modelling refers to the practitioner's ability to maintain a balanced relationship with patients that respects both parties' autonomy and agency while creating a collaborative therapeutic alliance.
Implementation in Pilot
The Flourish OS protocols help clinicians track their own internal states during patient interactions, noting moments where power dynamics shift or where clinical decisions might be influenced by practitioner states rather than patient needs.
By maintaining awareness of these patterns, the practitioner can adjust their approach to better support patient agency and shared decision-making.
Symbolic Tracking
Specific glyphs can be developed to represent different co-agency states, such as:
- ⚖️ - Balanced partnership
- 🧬 - Complex interrelationship
- 🔄 - Reciprocal engagement
- ⬆️ - Clinician-dominated interaction
- ⬇️ - Excessive deference to patient
- 🌉 - Bridging perspectives
- 🔍 - Critical reflection moment
These symbols provide a quick way to note relationship dynamics for later reflection.

Next Steps: Glyph Tracker Synchronization 🔄
Current Challenge 🧩
While the pilot uses both Apple Notes and Journal for different aspects of symbolic tracking (🔍📝), there isn't a native way to analyze patterns across these platforms.
Symbols entered in Morning Mirror sessions (Journal 🌅) remain separate from those in Midday Glyph notes (Notes 🧬), making pattern recognition more difficult.
Proposed Solution ⚖️
Develop a method to sync glyph tracker across Notes and Journal, enabling symbol-based trend recognition (📊🔮) across all reflection types.
This could involve:
- Creating a master symbol dictionary in Notes 📚🔤
- Using consistent tagging formats across platforms #️⃣🏷️
- Manual weekly transfer of symbols into a unified tracking document 📋🔄
- Potential future API integration if Apple develops this capability 🧠⚙️

Morning Mirror: Sample Journal Entry
07:30 - Morning Mirror 🧬 Present state: Feeling grounded but slightly apprehensive about today's complex case reviews. Slept well (7.5 hours) but woke twice briefly. Body scan: Slight tension in shoulders, breathing steady, overall calm physical state. Symbolic reflection: 🧬⚖️🔬 (DNA: inherent patterns, Scales: seeking balance, Microscope: examining details) Intention: To maintain a state of curious presence with each patient, holding space for complexity without rushing to conclusions.
This sample entry demonstrates the structured yet personalized nature of the Morning Mirror protocol, combining factual observations with symbolic representation and intentional framing for the clinical day ahead.
Midday Glyph: Sample Notes Entry
13:30 - Midday Glyph ⚖️ Field note: Crisis assessment room feels charged today. Team energy scattered after difficult morning case. Body feeling: Tightness in chest, shallow breathing noticed. Took 3 deep breaths to recenter. Tone snapshot: ⚡⟳⊗ (Lightning: emotional intensity, Cycle: need to reset, Nexus: staying cognitively present) Quick action: Scheduled 5-min walking break before next assessment.
This example shows how the Midday Glyph serves as a quick check-in during the clinical day, capturing the environmental and internal state while prompting small adjustments to maintain balance. The use of symbolic glyphs helps practitioners represent complex states efficiently while acknowledging diverse experiences.
Evening Exhale: Sample Journal Entry
17:30 - Evening Exhale 🌬️ Day overview: Challenging but productive. Three crisis assessments completed, two team consultations provided. Gratitude points: - Team support during complex case discussion - Patient's family expressing appreciation for clear communication - Finding 10 minutes for lunch in the garden Decompression: Noticing residual tension from final assessment. Visualizing release of clinical responsibility as I leave the building. Three full exhales completed. Symbolic closure: 🌬️⚖️🧬 (Exhale: release, Balance: equilibrium restoration, DNA: connecting to essential self)
The Evening Exhale protocol creates a clear boundary between professional and personal time, supporting the practitioner in releasing work-related stress and transitioning to recovery.
Micro-tracking: Sample Reminders
These examples demonstrate how Apple Reminders can be used for ultra-quick symbolic capture of meaningful clinical moments throughout the day, creating a breadcrumb trail of experiences for later reflection.

🧠 Subjective Assessment
Many benefits rely on self-reported improvements in presence and wellbeing, which are inherently subjective and difficult to quantify precisely across diverse practitioners 👩🏽⚕️👨🏻⚕️👩🏿⚕️.
The "felt sense" of groundedness, while clinically meaningful, does not easily translate to standardized metrics for healthcare professionals of varying backgrounds and experiences.
🔍 Pattern Recognition
Identifying meaningful patterns in symbolic tracking requires interpretation and may be influenced by confirmation bias among different cultural perspectives 🧬.
The personal nature of symbolic language means that patterns may be significant to the individual but not generalizable across practitioners from diverse training backgrounds and worldviews.
⚖️ Causality Questions
Improvements in clinical presence or burnout metrics may be influenced by factors beyond the protocol itself, including:
- Changes in case complexity or volume affecting practitioners of all demographic groups
- Team dynamics and support across multicultural healthcare environments
- Personal life circumstances unique to each individual's identity and experience
- Seasonal variations in mental health presentations across diverse patient populations 👨🏾🦱👵🏼👩🏻🦰
