Start Without Words

A 60-second body-signal check-in. If you can't name what you feel, this quiz reads your body signals and suggests the safest next move. We don't ask for emotion labels — we read state, experience layer, and loop bias (your default coping pattern when things get hard).

Answered 0/10 Safety Gate 0 Keys Auto-advance:
Answer fast. Perfect words are not required.
Phase: Safety → Body → Pattern → Loop → Orientation

Begin

Close-enough is enough. We begin with the nervous system, not labels.

🧠 Rule: We match depth to state. That prevents “wrong tool, wrong time.”

Safety check

Not clinical. Just a guardrail in case you feel unsafe right now.

Are you in immediate danger, or unable to stay safe right now?

Support first

If you feel unsafe or in crisis, the best next step is local urgent support or a trusted person nearby.

🚑 Next step: contact your local emergency services, a trusted person, or a qualified local support line. If you can, move to a safer place and reduce stimulation.

Body state

Estimate breath, tension, restlessness, heaviness. Don’t analyze.

How activated does your body feel right now?

Activation (A)
Quiet / low energy Very high / urgent

Coordination

Think steadiness, focus, and ability to pause.

How coordinated do you feel inside?

Coordination (C)
Foggy / shut down Clear / grounded

Experience layer

We’re not naming emotions yet. We’re finding the dominant bottleneck.

Which statement fits best right now?

Time window

This estimates persistence risk — not intensity.

How long has this been around in a similar form?

Cognitive load

We use this to avoid pushing meaning work too early.

Right now, doing deep thinking or journaling feels…

Stillness test

We’re detecting body activation vs impulse vs narrative.

If you did nothing for 10 minutes, what happens?

Loop bias

Loops are common substitution patterns when a cycle doesn’t complete.

Right now, the strongest pull is to…

Inner tone

This helps us interrupt substitution without blame.

Your inner voice sounds most like…

After-effect

We’re detecting whether relief repeats, pressure rises, or backlog grows.

After you cope, what usually happens?

Your orientation

Not a diagnosis. This is navigation: statelayernext step.

What this likely is

What to do next

Recommended DojoWell feature

One-tap action

Where to next

When you've settled, these go deeper.
