Can non-family relationships be included?
Yes. Non-family significant relationships can be included when relevant to relational trauma or target material.
Does the tool interpret intergenerational patterns automatically?
No. It displays entered patterns and practitioner relevance markers without automatic causality claims.
Can the client help build the map?
Yes. The tool is designed for collaborative session use when appropriate, with practitioner control of the clinical artifact.
