The Regulation Room

Getting started

How to use this app

A simple, step-by-step walk through everything inside. Take it at your own pace — there's no right order, but this is a kind one.

1

Start with a mood check-in

Tap Mood Check-in in the menu. Slide the bar to where you are right now. Add a note if you want — or don't. This takes 30 seconds and starts building your private picture over time.

Open Mood Check-in
2

Try one breathing session

Tap Breathwork. Pick any pattern (4-7-8 is the most calming). Follow the moving circle. Even 60 seconds counts — and finishing one session unlocks the Grounding guide for free.

Open Breathwork
3

Get a personal plan

Tap Your Plan and answer a few short questions. The app will recommend which guides and practices fit what you're going through right now. It's not a diagnosis — just a friendly starting point.

Explore the guides

Tap Guides to see all interactive tools — Calm Anxiety in 5 Minutes is always free. Browse the Therapy Types overview to learn which approach (CBT, DBT, EMDR, Somatic, etc.) might fit you best.

Talk to the AI Coach when you need a witness

Tap AI Coach for a private, non-judgmental conversation any time of day or night. It's not a replacement for a therapist — it's a thinking partner when no one else is awake.

Listen in the Library

Tap Library for guided audio sessions and meditations. Use them in the morning, before bed, or anytime you need to soften.

Bookmark the Help & Resources page

If you ever feel unsafe or in crisis, the Help & Resources page has hotlines and state-by-state support. The red help button at the bottom of every screen also takes you straight there.

A few gentle reminders

  • Small + consistent beats big + sporadic. Two minutes a day matters more than two hours once a month.
  • Free guides unlock as you use the app — finishing breath sessions and mood check-ins opens more practices for free.
  • Nothing here replaces a therapist. Use the app alongside professional care if you can.
  • If you're in crisis right now, call 988 (US) or 911. The crisis button is always one tap away.
