Let customers speak for us
from 21 reviewsRest Without Guilt felt like exactly the kind of support I’ve been needing. Lately I’ve been running on empty, constantly pushing myself and feeling guilty the moment I tried to slow down. This 1 day session gave me a calm space to breathe and listen to what was going on inside.
The tone throughout the flow is warm and reassuring, never rushed, never overwhelming. The ACT-based prompts helped me understand why rest feels so uncomfortable sometimes, and they guided me toward a more compassionate way of responding to my own exhaustion. It was comforting to feel so understood, even in an online format.
I also appreciated how simple the structure is. The program doesn’t pile on tasks or information: it creates clarity. The reflection page and affirmation added a grounding moment that stayed with me for the rest of the day.
By the end, I felt calmer and more at ease with taking breaks without needing to “earn” them first.
If you’re overwhelmed, tired, or caught in that cycle of feeling guilty for resting, this is a genuinely supportive and soothing reset. I’m really glad I gave myself this day.
This workbook was exactly what I needed. It helped me take a step back and finally give myself permission to rest without feeling like I was falling behind. The prompts were clear and eye opening.
A great, practical reset for anyone dealing with burnout or constant pressure.
I went through this program on my phone usually in the evenings. It felt simple and easy to use. The questions made me reflect without getting overwhelmed. After a few days I noticed my mind slowing down and I wasn’t stuck in endless overthinking as much.
What I really appreciate is the mix of psychology and AI. It feels innovative yet safe. The practices are simple, but they make a real difference in how I handle stress. It gives me both hope and direction.
I didn’t expect to enjoy a self-help book this much! What makes AI for Self-Help stand out is how down-to-earth and kind it feels. The exercises don’t pressure you, they invite you. The AI prompts are fun to use and gave me insights I honestly didn’t think a “chat with AI” could bring. It feels modern, creative, and at the same time very human. A beautiful mix of guidance and encouragement that left me hopeful and motivated.
The most important thing I’ve learned is that I can accept the restless feelings I have, instead of fighting them. And even with the tension, I now dare to speak up for myself. For me, it’s a very different new way to look at my emotions. I’d love to try the program for low mood as well, because my mood could also use a lift, even though life already feels a little bit lighter now that I speak my voice more.
I often feel down/depressed. but this program really helped me feel calmer and less stuck in those feelings. I even used it at night, and it made me feel more at ease. I’m excited to try the overthinking program next, and I really wish there was a program designed for sleep problems too. Tessa, will you design that?
As a mom of a little toddler it hasn’t always been easy to balance work and home. I used to get irritated quickly, then feel guilty about it, and end up stuck in the same cycle again and again. This program really helped me break out of that. Things feel lighter now. I’m less hard on myself, I carry less guilt, and that makes me more relaxed (and less snappy). Most of all, I can enjoy my little boy more 🩵
I wasn’t sure about using AI for something so personal, but this 6 day program really surprised me. It felt nice and clear, like someone guiding me step by step. I feel supported and I can see the progress I’ve made: i feel less anxious.
I’ve tried many selfhelp tools before, but Talk2Tessa is on another level. It feels like having a psychologist in your pocket, always clear and supportive. The flows give structure, so you actually move toward calm and self-compassion. It’s practical and so easy to use. Honestly, the best investment I’ve made for my mental well-being.
I’ve used ChatGPT before when I wasn’t feeling great, but the talks didn’t really have direction or an end point. Sometimes I just kept chatting endlessly. Now the conversations have a clear goal and structure. It feels supportive and really gives me something to hold on to.
I’ll be honest — I wasn’t sure if this ‘gentle AI flow’ thing was really my style. But wow, this program surprised me. It’s structured, no fluff, and it actually helped me step back from the endless worry loop I’d been stuck in. The daily prompts are simple but somehow hit straight to the point.
I liked that it didn’t feel overly ‘soft’ or preachy — it gave me practical steps I could actually use in real life. And yeah, I may or may not have copied some prompts into AI while pretending I was just ‘checking emails.’ Turns out that was the best 10 minutes of my day.
Bottom line: it works. And if a guy like me — who usually thinks he can just ‘tough it out’ — can say that, then it’s probably worth a shot for anyone.
Still & Clear really helped me quiet my mind. I tend to get stuck in overthinking, but the flows gave me simple steps to feel lighter and more present. I was worried (duh) this would feel overwhelming, but I was happily surprised by the practical setup and how easy it was to follow through during these 6 days.
This book is such a refreshing mix of psychology and practical tools. I think its great how it explains ACT and self-compassion in a down-to-earth way, and then immediately gives you copy-paste flows you can try with AI. It feels both professional and very approachable: like having a coach in your pocket. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in personal growth with a modern twist.

FAQ
Is this program a substitute for therapy or a diagnosis?
No. Talk2Tessa Flow Programs offer psychologist-designed self-help resources and mental health tools. While created by Tessa, MSc Psychologist (15+ years experience), these sessions are not a replacement for clinical therapy, medical diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in crisis or need urgent mental health support, please contact your GP or local emergency services immediately.
How effective is AI Coaching for mental wellness?
Research into Evidence-Based Digital Health shows that combining psychological frameworks like Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Self-Compassion training with interactive tools leads to higher engagement and better emotional regulation. Unlike a static self-help book or a journaling app, my AI Coaching Prompt Flows facilitate "Active Reflection."
By using my psychologist-designed scripts, you aren't just consuming information; you are actively rewiring your response to stress while learning to treat yourself with genuine kindness. This method, often referred to as Computerized ACT (iACT), is a powerful, low-barrier way to build resilience and self-compassion on your own terms. As an MSc Psychologist, I have bridged the gap between clinical theory and modern AI technology to make professional-grade emotional support accessible to everyone.
How does ACT help with my specific challenge?
I have built my programs on ACT principles—a gold standard in modern psychology—to help you navigate various mental health challenges. Whether you are dealing with Anxiety, Burnout, Parenting stress, or Overthinking, the approach I use focuses on:
- Anxiety & Overthinking: Learning "Cognitive Defusion" to step back from racing thoughts and "what-if" loops, seeing them as stories rather than facts.
- Burnout & Low Mood: Reconnecting with your Core Values to rebuild energy and find meaning, even when things feel heavy or exhausting.
- Mindful Parenting: Staying grounded and patient during the chaos. I use Self-Compassion tools to help you lower parental guilt and respond with presence instead of reactivity.
- Sleep & Restlessness: Ending the nightly struggle with insomnia by practicing Acceptance and grounding techniques to quiet a busy mind.
- Assertiveness & Relationships: Building the Psychological Flexibility needed to set healthy boundaries and communicate with clarity.
What is the role of Self-Compassion in these programs?
Self-Compassion is the heartbeat of every Flow Program I design. It is not about 'just being nice' to yourself; it is a science-based practice of meeting your pain and setbacks with kindness instead of harsh judgment.
Drawing from the research of pioneers like Kristin Neff, I have woven specific self-compassion elements into the AI Prompt Flows. This ensures that the AI doesn't just offer logic, but guides you to speak to yourself with the warmth and understanding you would offer a dear friend. For many, this shift from 'self-criticism' to 'self-kindness' is the most transformative part of the experience, providing the safety needed to grow.
What makes these digital workbooks different from standard therapy sheets?
Unlike static therapy worksheets or PDF printables, these programs combine a professional digital workbook with interactive AI Coaching Prompt Flows.
Using principles from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Self-Compassion, the AI acts as a 24/7 supportive guide that doesn't just ask questions, but responds to your specific reflections with warmth and clinical insight. This creates a much deeper, more personal experience than a traditional journal—it’s a safe space where you can process heavy emotions and learn to treat yourself with kindness, exactly when you need it most.
Will I feel a difference after just one session?
Yes. My programs are built to provide an immediate "pattern interrupt." When you are stuck in a mental loop, your brain is repeating the same story. By using my AI Coaching Prompt Flows, you are forced to engage with your thoughts in a new, interactive way.
Most users report a sense of mental spaciousness and relief within the first 15 minutes. This isn't because your problems have vanished, but because you have successfully "unhooked" from the emotional intensity of your thoughts. Whether you use a 1-Day Reset for a quick shift or start a 6-Day Program for deeper habit change, the goal is to move you from "stuck" to "steady" in a single session.
Is it safe to explore emotions with AI?
Yes. Every Talk2Tessa Flow Program is designed by an MSc Psychologist (15+ years experience) to ensure the guidance is soft, grounding, and non-judgmental. Unlike a standard, unguided AI chat, these professional prompt flows act as a structured path based on proven ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) and Self-Compassion frameworks.
The AI acts as a neutral, supportive mirror for your thoughts. You stay in full control of the pace: you can pause, skip, or stop the conversation at any time. It is a safe, private space to practice shadow work and emotional reflection without the fear of being judged.
Do I need a paid AI subscription to use the coaching scripts?
No. Every AI Prompt Flow is optimized to work perfectly with the free versions of ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. You receive professional-grade AI coaching without any recurring monthly costs.
Do I need to be "good at AI" to use these flows?
Not at all. I have designed these programs for simplicity and mental ease. There is no learning curve and no complex setup.
- One-Step Access: You simply copy the script from the PDF and paste it into the chat.
- No "Prompt Engineering" Required: I have already done the heavy lifting of "prompt engineering" for you.
- Intuitive Interaction: You just talk to the AI as if you were talking to me—authentically and in your own words.
This frictionless design makes it the perfect tool for moments when your brain feels foggy or overwhelmed and you don't have the energy for a complicated "self-help system."
Is this program suitable for neurodivergent minds (ADHD, HSP, Autism)?
Yes, absolutely. While my programs are designed for everyone seeking mental clarity, they are particularly supportive for neurodivergent minds. Because these AI Coaching Prompt Flows are private and available 24/7, they offer a safe, low-stimulation space to process emotions without the pressure of face-to-face interaction, social cues, or fixed appointments.
The combination of ACT and Self-Compassion is highly effective here. It focuses on psychological flexibility—learning to 'unhook' from overwhelming thoughts and sensory overload without the exhaustion of masking. Instead of trying to 'fix' how your brain works, this approach teaches you to meet your unique needs with genuine kindness and radical acceptance. Whether your mind is neurotypical or neurodivergent, these flows meet you exactly where you are, with zero judgment.
Does the AI guidance work in my language?
Yes—fully. The program is designed to be language-agnostic. Simply paste the AI Coaching Prompt Flow into your chosen chat tool, and the AI will automatically detect and respond in whichever language you use. This allows you to explore your inner world and engage in deep reflection in the language that feels most natural and comfortable to you, without losing any professional depth or warmth.
Can I reuse the program and the workbook?
Yes. You get lifetime access to your digital download. Since the AI coaching adapts to your current situation, you can revisit the Prompt Flows and mindfulness exercises as often as you need. It is a reusable self-care toolkit for your mental wellness journey.
Is my information private?
Your messages stay within the AI tool you choose (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) and are not shared with Talk2Tessa. I don’t see or receive anything you write.
AI tools may use conversations to improve their systems unless you switch off data sharing in your account settings — so only share what feels comfortable and avoid personal identifying details.
You are always in control of what you write, and you can pause or stop anytime.
Scientific Foundations
All Talk2Tessa programs are rooted in two well-researched approaches:
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) (Hayes et al., 1999) — making space for difficult thoughts and choosing small, values-based actions.
Self-Compassion (Neff, 2003) — softening self-criticism and treating yourself with kindness.
Together, they give every flow both structure and warmth — science you can trust, with care you can feel.
