Step 1
The profile reveals your dominant pattern of needs. It is a starting point, not a verdict. Feedback at the end of the profile lets you flag anything that does not feel accurate.
Step 2
Go to the exercises (enter your access code). Save your information by exporting your profile or as a PDF. If you want to create your own healing plan, go to the next step.

A direct link to Amazon appears at the end of the profile for visitors who have not yet made a purchase.
Your profile, answers, and chat history are stored only in your browser. Nothing is transmitted to or held by the application beyond the AI processing described below. No account is required, and no personal data is collected at the point of entry.
When you use the Chat or the doctrine features, your text is sent to Anthropic’s AI for processing. Anthropic does not use data submitted via its API to train its models, and responses are not stored after delivery. No personal data is retained by any external service.
Your data is by default only as permanent as your browser. To retain your data, either create an account (use the sign-in button at the top) or create a backup of your profile as JSON from the Your Data tab.
You do not need the book to start. The inner needs profile is free, takes about 4 minutes, and requires nothing of you except your honest answers. It is a starting point. Not a diagnosis. Not a verdict.
Enter your access code to unlock the exercises. The app is the infrastructure that makes the book’s 12 exercises work between sessions, on any device, at your own pace.
