What is Feelpath?
Feelpath supports early-stage emotion skill development by making emotion work more observable, more interactive, and more revisitable over time.
It supports that work in three ways.
- In session: For clients, emotion wheels offer a menu of emotions to point to when finding the right word is tough. For therapists, we have designed our tools to be invisible and non-disruptive. You can feel more present in the conversation, knowing you can review Session Insights after the call.
- After session: Feelpath Insights help you notice patterns, what shifted, and what is worth returning to next time. Insights pull forward a few usable observations, give you something specific to point to when learning more about your client, and support clearer follow-ups without having to reconstruct the session from memory.
- Over time: Feelpath helps you and your clients see small shifts across weeks, so you can talk about change in a concrete way. Clients can notice progress markers that are easy to miss early on, like more emotion-word differentiation. You may also notice capacity gains in emotion regulation.

Why is Feelpath helpful?
Feelpath is designed to support emotional skill acquisition by turning therapy conversations into repeated emotional learning moments. Because Feelpath uses a client's own therapy material, it reinforces a labeling and reflection practice.
This process reinforces interoceptive awareness (also called interoception), the ability to notice and make sense of internal and emotional signals, through repetition until emotional awareness and regulation are more accessible in real-life moments and under stress.
- When words go blank, recognition-first prompts lower retrieval pressure and help clients access language they could not generate on demand.
- Working with real excerpts helps clients separate blended states (for example, shame vs fear vs anger).
- Once an emotion is named with more precision, clients can reflect rather than only react. In affect labeling research, this shift is associated with greater prefrontal engagement and lower amygdala reactivity, which can increase response flexibility.
- Revisiting personal session material between sessions turns one-time insight into repeated practice.
- Feelpath's interactive design improves client engagement: when clients annotate, compare labels, and revisit their own excerpts, they stay involved between sessions and return to the next session with more emotional clarity.
- Pattern visibility across weeks helps clients recognize recurring triggers, meanings, and needs ("this is my pattern").
- Better labeling plus better pattern recognition improves communication, regulation choices, and follow-through in real life.

Who is Feelpath for?
Feelpath is usually a strong fit for therapists who:
- Therapists who are deeply care-driven and want to provide the best learning support for their clients.
- Therapists who believe in the central role of emotions in the therapeutic journey and agree on the importance of building emotional clarity first, so regulation and change can follow.
- Therapists who are already actively working together with their clients to build emotional language and the emotional capacity needed in their client's life.
Other things that make someone a fit:
- Tech-ready and open to trying new, lightweight tools in their own practice
- Beyond Feelpath's core role as an emotional learning platform, it is also an excellent fit for therapists who want practical workflow support-searchable transcripts, AI session summaries, and note-ready outputs-to plan faster, and more informed, follow-up care.

What will feel different in session?
Feelpath was designed from the beginning as "invisible infrastructure", meaning the goal of our platform is to fade into the background, leaving the work and the human connection in the foreground.
In session, that shows up as a minimalist design, without distractions or interruptions. We strip away any unnecessary features, to better honor the focus of the hour, your presence with the client. Light, clean colors, high-definition full-screen video streams. And beautiful layouts that work for one-on-one as well as group work.
And quietly available in the background, we've added two simple supports.
- Emotion wheels: a visual menu of words you can pull up when language goes quiet. Core Emotions, Primary Emotions, Expression Resistant Feelings, and Positive Self-Regard.
- Live transcript: you can open the Audio Transcript in a side panel during session. It is there for accessibility and for quickly checking exact wording. It is searchable.
However, the main value of Feelpath comes from our post-session reflections, or what we call our Session Insights or Feelpath Insights, turning the session conversation into observations, reflections, and interactive tools for both you and your clients.

Will this create more work for me?
Our goal in creating Feelpath is to keep you present during session, and more informed between sessions. Feelpath is designed as a light workflow with no required between-session tasks.
When you use Feelpath as your telehealth room, sessions run normally, with emotion wheels available at the click of a button, saving time on finding handouts or pulling up links.
With Feelpath Insights, you can review your session summaries, observations, and session transcript—and these optional advantages might add a small amount of time to your week. The tradeoff is practical learnings about your client, new ideas for session follow-ups, and a supportive structure for your client's emotional development.

What will my client experience?
Therapy still feels like therapy: the conversation and connection you have with your client.
The difference shows up when your client gets stuck. Instead of going blank or defaulting to "I don't know," they have a shared way to slow down, find language, and stay connected to what they actually feel.
Between sessions, clients can keep learning from the same conversation: review what was expressed, explore what may have been unexpressed, and annotate emotions in context.
Over time, clients can see and name real progress: more precise emotion language, earlier awareness, better regulation, and stronger communication in daily life.
Use the preview card to walk through the exact client workflow: emotion wheels in session, post-session Insights review, emotion-word practice in real excerpts, quick Emotion Analytics, and transcript tools to edit, redact, or download text.

Do I have to switch platforms to use Feelpath?
Yes, to use Feelpath, you’ll need to host your telehealth sessions on Feelpath, meaning you and your clients will log into Feelpath.com to join your video calls. If you have flexibility to choose your video platform for your practice, this is usually straightforward.
If you’re required to use a specific video platform for your practice, Feelpath may not fit right now. But it’s okay to revisit later if that changes.
