Safety

DRAFT pending Kirby's approval

If you need help now

If you're in danger, or thinking about hurting yourself, stop now and contact your local emergency number (for example 112 in the EU and Indonesia, 911 in the US, 999 in the UK). You can find a free, confidential helpline in your country at findahelpline.com.

Stopping or changing the scene

You can stop at any time. Open your eyes, look around the room you're in now, and feel your feet on the floor.

If the place you picked starts to feel uncomfortable, choose a different one. It can be somewhere neutral, or a place you make up. It doesn't have to be a real memory.

If you can't think of any place that feels positive or neutral, that's okay. Take a break, and come back another day.

Skip any question you don't want to answer.

Not therapy

This app is a self-guided visualization tool. It is not therapy, and it doesn't replace care from a qualified mental-health professional. If you're working with a therapist, talk with them before using it.
