When It Is Used
Use it during live session work when practitioner contact with a part is clinically relevant and client-mediated contact may be insufficient.
Direct Access Live-Session Documentation Tool
Direct Access is a live-session IFS practitioner-contact support and documentation tool. It helps practitioners record a part's distinguishable voice or perspective, beliefs, fears, concerns, containment observations, and next-response decision.

Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
The tool captures part voice or perspective, beliefs, fears, concerns, containment observations, speaker or perspective distinctions, and practitioner next-response states.
Important Limits
The tool does not generate therapeutic dialogue, negotiate with parts, verify authenticity, automate safety clearance, or present Direct Access as self-guided.
Does Direct Access talk to parts for the practitioner?
No. The tool documents practitioner-led live contact; it does not simulate dialogue or generate scripts.
Can I mark the part voice as unclear?
Yes. If the part's perspective is not distinguishable, the record should mark it unclear rather than claiming Direct Access produced explicit content.
Is there a client form for this tool?
No. There is no standalone client form; optional shared visibility is minimal and practitioner-controlled.
What is saved from the public demo?
The fixed Direct Access tool is saved into the account. Fictional interaction content is not saved as real client data.
