How can we help?

Self Mosaic is a self-guided app for inner exploration based on Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. It helps you discover, understand, and build relationships with different aspects of yourself—leading to greater self-awareness and emotional wellbeing.

IFS is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that views the mind as naturally multiple—containing various "parts" or aspects that developed to protect us. In Self Mosaic, we call these Guardians, Responders, and Tender Ones. The goal is to help your wisest self (Core) lead your inner system with compassion.

No. Self Mosaic is a self-help tool for personal exploration and growth. It's not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're dealing with trauma, severe distress, or mental health conditions, we encourage working with a licensed therapist—ideally one trained in IFS.

Download the app and follow the onboarding flow. You'll learn the basics of inner multiplicity, meet your first aspect, and start your journey. The app progressively introduces concepts as you're ready for them.

• Guardians are protective aspects that proactively manage your life to prevent pain (like inner critics, perfectionists, or worriers).
• Responders are reactive aspects that jump in when emotions get overwhelming (like the part that reaches for distractions or numbs out).
• Tender Ones are younger aspects carrying vulnerable feelings and memories from difficult experiences.

Core is your natural state of calm, clarity, curiosity, and compassion. It's not an aspect—it's who you are beneath all the protective parts. The app includes practices to help you access Core, like guided meditations and grounding exercises.

You can stop any practice at any time. The app includes grounding exercises and "containment" practices for when things feel overwhelming. Trust your inner system—if something feels wrong, honor that feeling and take a break.

Self Mosaic uses progressive disclosure to introduce concepts safely. Deeper practices (like working with Tender Ones) unlock as you build foundation skills. This protects you from going too deep too fast without proper grounding.
