Frequently asked

What is Held, and is it therapy?
An AI guide at the level of a clinical psychologist — listens and explores with you without judgment, drawing on a library of globally recognized therapies (like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotion-regulation skills) chosen for your specific situation, and remembers your previous sessions as an ongoing relationship. It covers wide ground — from grief and relationship rupture, to self-criticism and isolation and life transitions, to compulsive patterns and substance addiction (with an immediate medical referral when physically needed) — without judgment or rushing. This is not therapy and not a substitute for a licensed therapist — for diagnosis or acute crises, consult a specialist.
How many free sessions does Held give?
Limits: free plan 1 session, permanently · monthly plan 12 sessions/mo, annual unlimited. If you have thoughts of harming yourself or you are in danger, please do not stay alone: reach someone you trust or a professional now, or call emergency services.
What is the "Explore Your Story" option?
The "Explore Your Story" option appears when you start your first session: your guide works with you to understand the story you carry about yourself from your experiences — where it came from, and how it shapes what you feel and do today. You can talk about anything either way ("Open Held" or "Explore Your Story") — it only sets how we begin, not what topics are allowed. If you started with one, you can switch to the other anytime from the "Your session style" section on the Held page.
