**I want help with platonic intimacy.**

**Where I am right now:**
[1–3 sentences about your current social life — e.g., "I have coworkers I lunch with but no one I could call at 2am" or "My best friend moved away and I haven't replaced that depth"]

**What I'm longing for:**
[Describe the kind of closeness you want — NOT romance. e.g., "Someone who knows my inner world," "A small group that feels like home," "One friendship I can invest in without fear"]

**My biggest blocker (best guess):**
[ ] I don't know how to initiate or invite
[ ] I overshare too fast and scare people off
[ ] I give a lot but rarely receive
[ ] I'm afraid of rejection or being "too much"
[ ] A specific friendship is strained and I don't know how to repair it
[ ] I'm confused about boundaries (romance bleed, time, emotional labor)
[ ] Life transition shattered my network
[ ] Other: [describe]

**A specific relationship or situation (optional):**
[Name/role, how long you've known them, what's happening — keep it anonymous if you prefer]

**What I want from this session:**
[ ] A reality check on whether my expectations are fair
[ ] A script for a conversation I need to have
[ ] A 7-day practice to try
[ ] Help understanding what went wrong
[ ] Permission and a plan to set a boundary
[ ] Something else: [describe]

**Please start by reflecting what you hear, then guide me through your PLATO protocol.**

**Boundary version:**

**Depth version:**
> "I have a friendship at Rung 2 on your vulnerability ladder. I want to deepen it without making it weird. What does Rung 3 look like for this relationship?"
