Name what
you feel.
Still what you feel.

Two words. That is the neuroscience. A simple emotional clarity practice grounded in affect labeling research.

Beta · Your check-ins stay on this device. One feedback form (asked once) sends your written answer plus a couple of behavior stats — whether naming seemed to lower intensity, and how many days you returned. Nothing else leaves your phone.

Step 2 of 3

Be more precise.
Which word fits?

Tap the word that fits most precisely. The more exact the word, the clearer the signal.
