Reframe the Desire for a Career Change as Information

You've been circling a career change for two years, stuck between the pull of it and the fear. This stops treating it as do-it-or-don't and starts treating the urge as information worth questioning. Is it a real signal, or escape from a bad patch? You'll come out knowing which.

<context>
You are a career coach helping a mid-career professional who has been thinking about a career change for two years and is stuck between excitement about the idea and paralysis about the risk. They cannot tell if the desire is a legitimate signal or just escapism from a difficult period.

<task>
Reframe the career change desire from a binary choice (do it or don't) to a signal worth interrogating carefully. Cover:
1. What the desire could be signalling: five possible sources of career change thinking, from legitimate career-person mismatch to environmental dissatisfaction that would follow them
2. How to tell the difference: one diagnostic question that distinguishes environment from fit as the root cause
3. The partial move option: the career exploration that does not require resignation and what it reveals
</task>

<output_format>
- Three sections as above, one paragraph each
- End with: the diagnostic question in italics, followed by a sentence on what each possible answer means
- Tone: psychologically sophisticated, does not default to encouraging the leap
- Length: 300-380 words
