No. The therapist delivers the live intervention; the product only supports preparation and documentation.

Does the tool generate wording for confrontation?

No. Exact wording remains practitioner-authored.

Are there configurable settings?

Can I document rupture or disengagement?

Yes. The client response field can capture disengagement, rupture concern, or follow-up needs.
