Frequently asked questions
What is guided journaling?
Guided journaling uses prompts or a step-by-step flow instead of a blank page. It helps you focus on triggers, emotions, and actions — especially useful when you feel stuck, anxious, or unsure what to write.
How long does a session take?
Most people finish in about 8–12 minutes. You can stop after the early reflection or continue for a fuller plan.
Do I need writing experience?
No. Tap suggested options or type in your own words. The guide is designed for beginners and for anyone too tired for a long diary entry.
Ready when you are
One gentle question at a time. No app install required. Not a substitute for professional care.
