Cognitive-Affect Balance Is Not a Standalone Tool

Cognitive-Affect Balance is an MBT live-session stance for practitioners. It concerns keeping a client within a workable balance between detached cognition and overwhelming affect so mentalizing can continue, but the supplied specification does not support a standalone tool, client view, form, rating, or structured output.

Why There Is No Demo

The specification states that Cognitive-Affect Balance is an in-session stance or adjustment with no inherent structured output. Creating fields, ratings, worksheets, prompts, or review artifacts would redefine the product.

Where Documentation Belongs

If a practitioner wants to document a session moment, that belongs in ordinary session notes outside this tool boundary.

Is Cognitive-Affect Balance a standalone tool?

No. The specification marks it ineligible for standalone productization because it has no inherent structured output.

Can this be made into a rating scale?

No. Cognitive or affective balance ratings are unsupported by the supplied specification.

Is there a client worksheet?

No. The concept is a live practitioner stance, not a client-facing completion flow.

Can the system detect balance automatically?

No. Automated balance detection or classification is unsupported.
