About this tool

When medical appointments go badly or feel dismissive, patients need tools to process the experience, maintain their truth, and plan next steps without losing momentum. The Care Mapper helps you document difficult encounters, identify patterns of dismissal, and create action plans for getting better care. Through guided reflection on what happened, grounding exercises to maintain your perspective, and strategic planning for follow-up, you transform negative experiences into advocacy fuel. You receive a structured reflection document that validates your experience while providing concrete next steps for moving forward with your healthcare journey.
