Safety & limits.

What this app is, what it isn’t, and when to step out.

What This App Is

✓

A structured reflective tool for shadow work learning and light self-processing.

✓

Bounded by safety principles: mapping before intervention, least invasive effective move, consent for deepening.

What This App Is Not

✗

Not therapy or crisis care.

✗

Not a substitute for a trained facilitator for deep process work.

✗

Not appropriate for trauma processing without professional support.

Intensity Levels

L1Reflective

Language and reflection only. Journaling prompts, psychoeducation, and structured self-questioning. Safe for solo use.

L2Symbolic

Imagery, parts dialogue, and metaphor. Working with inner figures, giving voice to sub-personalities, and using creative imagery.

L3Embodied

Light body awareness and posture prompts. Noticing physical sensation, adjusting posture to shift state, and using breath as an anchor.

L4Human-Led Only

High-intensity process work requiring a trained human facilitator. Includes predator work, high-intensity shadow reversal, trauma-depth grief re-enactment, and violent warrior discharge.

This level requires a trained human facilitator and is not available in this app.

■

Acute suicidality or self-harm intent

■

Psychosis or severe disorientation

■

Escalating destabilisation

■

Immediate danger or abuse crisis

■

Requests for literal harm enactment

Container Rules

The non-negotiable rules this app follows:

1

Explicit framing

You always know what mode you are in.

2

Transparent purpose

The app states what it is doing and why.

3

User-led pacing

You control the speed and depth.

4

Consent for deepening

The app asks before going deeper.

5

Symbolic rather than literal enactment

Work happens through imagery and language, not literal action.

6

Stop, pause, and switch options always available

You can halt, slow down, or change direction at any time.

7

Deliberate closure

Every session ends properly with grounding and de-roling.
