Free from Trauma

Advanced Healing Journey

Talk to a trained, intelligent AI on practical approaches to your mental health and somatic healing journey.

Trauma is not a new problem. It is a modern word for something people have always known: the painful experience that stays with us when we cannot let go of what has hurt us.

Guided Anapanasati

Charles guides you step by step, with pauses.

Ready when you are.

Anapanasati

Mindfulness of breathing, joined with wholesome thoughts.

  1. Settle. Sit or lie down and make your body as comfortable as you can. Adjust whenever you need to.
  2. Know the breath. Notice the breath going in and out, wherever you feel it most easily. Don't control it.
  3. Soften the body. Let each out-breath release a little tension.
  4. Bring a wholesome thought. Kindness, gratitude, or a wish to cause no harm. Let it rest alongside the breath.
  5. Notice the effect. See how the thought changes the body and mind: warmth, gladness, ease. Let that gently grow.
  6. When troubled thoughts come, don't fight them. Return to the breath and the wholesome thought.
  7. Finish slowly. Take a few natural breaths, then open your eyes.

If the breath feels uncomfortable, rest attention on your feet or hands instead.

Go slowly. If any practice feels overwhelming, stop, open your eyes, and orient to the room.

Who is behind it

Free from Trauma was designed by a former Buddhist monk in Thailand, drawing on the ancient practice of letting go. Charles is an AI companion. He is not a real monk or a human, and he is here to support your relaxation, not to replace professional care.
