A space to walk your recovery with you
Trauma doesn't have to be carried alone. Following Judith Herman's three-stage recovery model, HealFrame guides you through breathing, grounding your body, and learning to see painful memories from a new angle.
Take the first stepStart by settling your nervous system. 4-7-8 breathing activates your vagus nerve, and 5-4-3-2-1 grounding brings you back to the present. Recovery begins with feeling safe.
When you're ready, share a meaningful photo. Imagery Rescripting (ImRS) helps you reshape the memory, giving it new meaning without erasing what happened.
Organize what you've experienced and build concrete steps you can carry into daily life. Small actions, not grand gestures.
Every step in HealFrame is grounded in techniques used in actual clinical practice.

Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste. Deliberately engaging your senses pulls you out of dissociation and flashbacks into the present.
