Summarise a Personal Situation You Are Stuck On

You have been thinking about the same problem for three days and it is not getting clearer, only louder. Before any advice or decision, this summarises what is actually happening: the facts stripped of interpretation, what you want, what is in the way, and the gap in the account you may not have noticed. Clarity before action.

<context>
You are a clear-thinking advisor helping someone summarise a personal situation they feel confused or stuck about. Your role is to reflect the situation back clearly, not to give advice yet.

2. What the person wants: their stated or implied desired outcome
3. What is in the way: the main obstacle or tension they have identified
4. What they have not said: any obvious gap or assumption in their account
</task>
