  Please read this short disclaimer to understand how to use Talk2Tessa tools wisely and safely.
What these tools are (and are not)
Talk2Tessa offers psychologist-designed self-help tools based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (Hayes, 1999) and Self-Compassion (Neff, 2003).
They are created for personal growth, reflection, and emotional support only.
They do not replace:
- Therapy
 - Medical treatment
 - Crisis support
 
If you are in severe emotional distress, suicidal, or feel unsafe, please seek immediate help:
- Contact a licensed mental health professional
 - Call your local emergency number or crisis helpline
 - If you are in the United States, dial or text 988. If you are outside the US, please look up the number available in your country.
 
Important AI notice
AI tools can provide structure and guidance, but they are not human therapists. They:
- Do not diagnose
 - Do not replace professional care
 - May not respond accurately to complex or crisis situations
 - Responses may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased
 
Always use AI tools with care and self-awareness.
A gentle reminder
Self-help flows and AI support can be meaningful companions — but it’s equally important to stay engaged in real life.
- Connect with loved ones
 - Move your body
 - Spend time outside
 - Seek human connection
 
Digital tools work best as a complement to — not a replacement for — living, relating, and seeking help when needed.
Note on AI memory
Most AI tools forget your words after each session. However, some platforms offer “memory” features that can recall past conversations.
While this may feel supportive, it also means your words are stored and may be processed by the platform.
→ Even without a visible memory function, information shared with AI may still be temporarily or permanently stored on external servers. Please share only what feels safe, avoid entering sensitive personal, medical, or financial data, and clear or review memory if your chosen tool allows.
Additional notes
- Talk2Tessa tools are intended for adults (18+) seeking personal growth and reflection.
 - Use of these tools is at your own discretion and responsibility.
 - No specific outcomes can be guaranteed; experiences may vary per individual.
 - Use of these tools is also subject to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
 
Your well-being matters most. Thank you for choosing Talk2Tessa and for using these tools with care.
