External tools for understanding internal systems

Some inner experiences are best understood one component at a time. Others only make sense when seen as a system.

IP Journal and IP Mapper are designed as companion tools: one for direct contact, one for system visibility.

These tools are for individual, self-directed exploration. They are not therapy, diagnosis, or clinical guidance.

They can also support collaboration in treatment: you can share what you map or journal with your therapist, and therapists may invite clients to use them between sessions.

These web apps do not collect personal data or usage telemetry. Your work is not sent to a server, and you only save or export anything if you choose to do so on your own device.

They are free and web-based. For clinical care, see Contact. For data handling details, see the Privacy Policy.

Make contact with what's present

ip-journal.live

IP Journal supports moment-to-moment contact with what is present right now.

Using image prompts, structured IDF discovery prompts, the journal supports differentiated observation of what is present. Components can be noticed as present experience rather than analyzed or managed.

The journal does not interpret or direct outcomes. It provides structure for noticing and relating.

Privacy by default: no telemetry is collected, and any saved work remains under your control on your device.

Use the journal when:

  • something feels activated or unclear
  • you want to slow down and listen
  • the goal is contact, not explanation

Understand the system

ip-mapper.com

IP Mapper supports seeing how internal components relate across time.

It lets you externalize an internal system: naming components, mapping relationships, and observing patterns or polarizations that emerge beyond any single moment.

The mapper does not diagnose or prescribe. It offers structure and visibility so patterns can be observed rather than inferred.

Privacy by default: no telemetry is collected, and any saved work remains under your control on your device.

Use the mapper when:

  • the same dynamics repeat
  • multiple components are involved
  • you want a system-level view
