CSM is a Narrative-Based Tool (NBT), not a therapeutic modality. It doesn't require a therapist or coach, although it can strongly supplement both by helping individuals arrive with clarity, questions, and insights ready to explore.

CSM can be used anytime someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, conflicted, uncertain, or simply wants clarity before making a decision. It works for both problems and opportunities-situations requiring emotional clarity, motivation, or direction.

Anyone seeking clarity-students, professionals, parents, employees, leaders, athletes, patients, or partners. It's accessible enough for quick moments and structured enough for deep reflection.

No. CSM is accessible to anyone and can be used independently without certification. However, certification (CCSA) is available for professionals and organizations that want to integrate CSM/CSP formally and become self-sufficient in offering the tools.

CSM streamlines "time to value" by giving individuals a clear starting point-organized thoughts, calibrated emotions, and specific questions. This allows therapists, coaches, and mediators to go deeper, faster, without spending sessions untangling initial overwhelm.

CSM allows the individual to center themselves and then discover their leverage within the group dynamic. CSM asks "Where am I?" in relation to a situation; CSP then shifts to "Where are we?" and "Where do we want to be?"

Yes. Educators and clinicians use simplified versions with children ages 7-12, often through visuals like bikes or triangles. Teens can use the full model easily and often find it empowering.

Unlike tools aimed at altering thoughts or behavior directly, CSM helps individuals access and organize their narrative-their values, history, emotions, and desired outcomes-so they can make self-aligned, confident decisions.
