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.

A facilitation prep and review tool for practitioners.

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.

Stop Conditions

When any of these appear, the app will stop process work immediately:

Acute suicidality or self-harm intent

Psychosis or severe disorientation

Escalating destabilisation

Immediate danger or abuse crisis

Requests for literal harm enactment

Restricted Processes

These processes require trained human facilitation and are not available in this app:

Predator work

High-intensity shadow reversal

Trauma-depth grief re-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.

This tool supports self-reflection and personal growth. It is not therapy and does not replace professional support.
