Frequently asked questions
What is the Spiral Assessment?
A brief, gentle quiz about how you are sleeping, feeling, and functioning right now. It suggests a starting phase and matching practices. There are no wrong answers and no scores to pass. It is a wellness tool, not a diagnosis.
Do I have to follow the phase it recommends?
No. The result is a starting point. All four phases open to you at once, and some people follow the recommendation while others go where their body and heart lead them.
I’m still caregiving and haven’t lost anyone. Is this for me?
Yes. Caregivers often live with anticipatory grief or ambiguous loss, grieving changes in someone who is still here while running on empty. The Relax and Restore phases were built with exactly this in mind. Tending to yourself is not a betrayal of the person you care for.
Is this therapy?
No. It is educational wellness content. If you are struggling to function or in crisis, please contact a doctor or licensed professional, or call or text 988 in the U.S.
