Eliza

Be supported dealing with your feelings, by chatting with this online electronic therapist.

This chatbot, Eliza, helps you explore your feelings and your experience. She will help you feel more, which supports your digestion of your emotions.
Privacy: What you enter here is not recorded or stored.

It is best to enter single, but complete, sentences (in English). You will probably need to forgive Eliza now and then, for not being attuned to what you've said. Just tell what you're feeling, when that happens.

Alternatively, you can do the exercises for working through your feelings.

Ending the session

To end your session with Eliza, you can enter Stop, Bye, or Quit. She will then say goodbye to you. You can also start a new session by typing Restart or Renew.

Repeating a question

If you want to explore a particular subject for yourself, you can let Eliza repeat a question for you. To do that, enter Repeat:, followed by the question. Eliza will respond with that question, after every answer you give. This will go on until you either enter a new question for her to repeat, or you end the session.

You could, for example enter questions like these:

Repeat: Tell me a way you're inhibiting yourself.
Repeat: Tell me a reason why you're inhibiting yourself.
Repeat: How does it feel to inhibit yourself?
