Use story cards, healing cards, and Archive without pressure to make everything complete.
Cards and Archive
Story cards hold events, themes, questions, fragments, body sensations, life chapters, or meanings you may want to organise. They can stay private, be shared when ready, or be archived if you want them out of active views.

Cards and Archive
Healing cards collect resources, strengths, care ideas, supports, reminders, or perspective shifts that may help you feel steadier. They are client-controlled and can also be shared, unshared, or archived.

Cards and Archive
Archive moves story and healing cards out of the active story space without erasing them. Archived cards are hidden from normal active views, and restoring a card returns it as private.

Understand private-by-default cards, sharing, unsharing, and therapist-note visibility.
Sharing and therapist access
New cards are private by default. Sharing lets the therapist view a card in their workspace, while unsharing removes it from normal therapist shared-card views without sending alerts or messages.

Sharing and therapist access
Therapists may add notes in their workspace. Notes are private to the therapist by default unless explicitly marked visible to the client, and they stay separate from client-owned card content.

Session prep and exports
Session prep helps a client gather selected cards, notes, questions, and things they are not ready to discuss. It can stay private until explicitly shared, and AI summaries are editable suggestions that require review.

Session prep and exports
Exports are for user-controlled preparation and sharing. They may contain sensitive information, so review the content before downloading or sending and store exported files carefully.
