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.

Low-Burden Practice

The client experience should minimize typing during active practice and allow brief entries afterward.

Partial Records

If the client cannot identify sensations or urges, those fields can be left unknown or none without forcing content.

Limits

The tool does not interpret the meaning of the emotion, score mindfulness, or make safety determinations.

Does this tool include a mindfulness score?

No. It records practice completion and observations; it does not score mindfulness skill.

Can a client skip sensations or urges if they cannot identify them?

Yes. Those fields can be marked unknown or none rather than forcing content.

Does the demo require real emotional material?

No. The public demo uses fictional sample content and should not require sensitive or identifying information.

Is the tool configurable?

No substantive settings are required. Saving adds the fixed Mindfulness of Current Emotions tool to the practitioner's account.
