Questions, answered
Is this therapy or medical treatment?
No. This is a guided self-help experience built on practical, well-known methods. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or a replacement for a professional. If your feelings are intense or lasting, please speak with a doctor or mental-health professional.
Who is this session for?
Children who hide feelings, cry instead of speaking, shout instead of explaining, say “nothing,” or struggle to tell what they feel.
Who is it NOT suitable for?
Trauma, abuse, severe emotional shutdown, developmental language concerns, self-harm behaviour, or intense emotional dysregulation.
How long does it take?
About 35-45 min, split into small steps. You can pause and resume anytime, and revisit as often as you like.
Is my information private?
Yes. Anything you write in the activities is saved privately on your own device, never uploaded.
Do I get worksheets I can keep?
Yes. The session includes worksheets, trackers and a 7-day plan you can view on screen and download as a PDF.
