If you need help now
You can talk to someone.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number: 911 in the US and Canada, 999 or 112 in the UK and Ireland, 112 in Poland and across Europe.
The Inner Awakening is a reflection tool. It is not a crisis service, it is not therapy, and it cannot help in an emergency. The helplines below are free, confidential, and there to support people in crisis.

What the guide will and won't do
The guide reflects what you write and holds the structure of a session. It does not diagnose, advise or decide anything for you, and it cannot tell whether you are safe. It may sometimes show helpline numbers when you write certain words, but it can miss what you are going through, so please don't wait for it.
If a session stirs up more than you can hold right now, stop. Put your feet on the floor, look around and name a few things you can see, and let a few slow breaths out. Then step away and reach out to someone you trust or to one of the lines above. Coming back later is always an option.
