Free Self-Guided Tools by Alex Zah
Choose a short browser tool by what you need to do now: prepare for a therapy consultation, reflect on whether a conversation or a small self-guided step fits, or find a focused regulation tool.
Every card states what the tool does, how long it takes, what happens to your input, and what it cannot decide for you.
Alex Zah tools
A practical next step, without an account
These tools are useful on their own. They are not tests, diagnoses, or automated decisions about what kind of support you need.

When a self-guided tool is not enough
These tools do not provide crisis support or professional assessment. Stop if an exercise becomes too intense, confusing, or disorienting. If you are in immediate danger, call 112 in Spain and the EU, or use the emergency number where you are.
For a non-urgent conversation about Gestalt-based support, you can read what a first contact with Alex involves.
How privacy and app comparisons work
Only specifically named fixed-choice tools use the no-answer-storage standard. Paid apps, forms, checkouts, accounts, and external websites have different data flows and policies.
