Pacing and support
Pause and grounding
Pause / Grounding is a separate place to slow down, orient, or step away when needed.
Quick overview
Pause / Grounding is available when the work feels too much. You can stop, save, return later, keep things unfinished, or bring a topic to your therapist instead of continuing alone.
What you’ll see
How this works
- Open Pause / Grounding when you want to step away from writing or reviewing.
- Use a simple grounding prompt, take a break, or return to the dashboard.
- Leave a card broad, symbolic, partial, or unfinished if detail does not feel right.
- Bring the topic to your therapist rather than continuing alone when that feels safer.
What you stay in control of
- Whether to continue, save, pause, or return later.
- Whether a card needs detail today.
- Whether a topic belongs in session rather than in between-session writing.
Emergency boundary
Pause / Grounding is not emergency support. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
