Usage Scenarios#

Scenario 1#

Expected output: Pre-flight preparation checklist (seat selection, airport familiarity, medication consultation), in-flight coping toolkit (breathing exercises, distraction library, trigger-point acupressure), and post-flight decompression plan — with anxiety-level tracking template.

Scenario 2#

User input: "My social anxiety makes group tours terrifying. How can I still travel meaningfully?"

Expected output: Solo-friendly travel design — private tours alternative to group, self-guided audio walks, 'safe solo' dining strategies, accommodation choices that minimize forced socialization, and graduated exposure plan starting with day trips.

Scenario 3#

User input: "Create a general travel anxiety management template for my therapy clients."

Expected output: Therapist-friendly framework — anxiety trigger identification worksheet, pre-trip cognitive restructuring exercises, in-trip grounding techniques (5-4-3-2-1 method), safety-behavior reduction plan, and post-trip reflection journal prompts.

Scenario 4: 第一次出国自由行很紧张#

User input: "第一次自己去日本玩7天，已经订好机票酒店了但还是很担心，语言不通怎么办？" Expected output: 提供出国焦虑管理清单：1）行前准备——下载Google翻译（离线日语包）、Google Maps（离线地图）、开通国际漫游或买当地SIM卡（推荐亿点连接/无忧行）；2）落地后——机场服务台拿中文地图，很多大站有中文指示；3）日常——扫码点餐（很多餐厅有中文菜单）、支付宝/微信在日本普及率高；4）应急——记下中国驻日使领馆领保电话+日本急救119。核心建议：焦虑来自未知，提前把每一步都模拟一遍能大大降低不安感。推荐使用苹果'查找'App分享位置给家人。
