For Therapists & Loved Ones

If you're a therapist, coach, parent, or friend walking alongside someone using these tools — thank you for being here.

Gentle reminder: this isn't homework.

These tools work best when they aren't assigned, graded, or checked up on. If someone in your care is using this platform, the most helpful thing you can offer is curiosity, not follow-through. Ask what they noticed, not whether they finished.

Your role is witness, not evaluator.

There's no "right" spiky profile, no passing score on a regulation toolkit. If someone shares what they made, the most useful response is often just: tell me more about that — not interpretation, not correction.

Expect incompleteness, especially at first.

A client or loved one may come back with a tool half-filled out, or say a question didn't apply to them. That's the tool working as intended, not a sign something went wrong. Pushing for completeness can undercut the trust the process depends on.

These tools can complement therapeutic work, not replace it.

A Spiky Profile can give language to bring into a session. A completed Regulation Toolkit can become a shared reference during a hard week. But none of these tools are diagnostic, and none of them require your sign-off to be valid for the person using them.

If you're recommending this platform to someone:

Everything is free, requires no account, and nothing is stored anywhere but their own device — so there's no barrier to trying it, and nothing to set up on your end either.

Thank you for sharing this with your clients

If you have insights, suggestions, or feedback from how this works in practice, I'd genuinely love to hear it — find us on Substack and share what you're noticing.
