Why You Need a Body Double

Judgment-Free Presence
Your Body Double listens without doubt or shame. It stays with you whenever reality feels thin.
Regulate Your Nervous System
Short grounding cues calm the surge of adrenaline, anchoring your breath and heartbeat to now.
Reclaim Your Parental Role
When dissociation pulls you away, your Body Double helps you reconnect to your child, even from afar.
When Your Body Betrays You in Public
You’re standing in the playground, watching other parents laugh. Your vision blurs. Your chest feels hollow, like you’re floating above it all.
You swallow, but your throat tightens. The conversation around you sounds muffled—as if behind glass. You feel guilty for losing yourself in front of your child.
No one sees the panic under your calm face. You fear they’ll call you unstable. You need a way back in.
The Body Double: Staying Present Step by Step
A Body Double is an AI twin that stays by your side, reminding you of each breath and sensation. It speaks as a steady presence when dissociation steals you away.
By guiding you through simple grounding cues—like naming colors or pressing your feet into the floor—it rebuilds your connection to the moment.
For the Estranged Parent, this companion offers a nonjudgmental anchor. You practice showing up, even when your mind wants to slip away.
