What It Records
The observation record includes target behavior, partner regulation and reactions, awareness of impact, escalation risks, response alternatives, and stopped, partial, or completed states.
Limits
The tool does not provide unsupervised instructions, generic role-play scripts, exposure scores, or automated treatment decisions.
Can clients use this tool on their own?
No. It is live-session-only and therapist-guided; clients should not independently initiate or repeat the exercise through the product.
What happens if consent or safety judgment is not adequate?
The exercise cannot proceed and remains a non-completed setup record.
Can stopped or harmful enactments be recorded?
Yes. Stopped, partial, and harmful or non-supportive outcomes are valid recorded states and should not be hidden.
Does the tool decide that an enactment is safe?
No. Safety suitability is practitioner-entered and practitioner interpreted; the product does not automate clearance.
