Find out what your emotions are telling you in 15 minutes
Color Mending Therapy is an evidence-based tool to figure out what you’re feeling and why you’re feeling it…through coloring.
You’re stuck in the same emotional loops
✔︎ You feel overwhelmed and confused by your emotions.
✔︎ You rely on others to tell you what you're feeling and what to do about it.
✔︎ Every time you try to 'figure yourself out' you just end up overthinking and more confused.
✔︎ You feel like a passenger in your own emotional life.
Here's why: When you try to put how you're feeling into words first, your brain uses old patterns and past experiences to make sense of what you're feeling now.
Which keeps you talking in loops and feeling stuck in a rut.
It’s time to
Color Your Way Out
Color Mending lets you bypass those old patterns and past experiences entirely. By coloring out how you're feeling right now, you can see what's really happening instead of what your brain thinks should be happening.
This isn't about creating art, it's about translating body sensations into colors and shapes so you can decode what your body is trying to communicate.
No artistic skill required, just willingness to trust your first instinct.
Color Mending bypasses the old mental patterns and gets straight to what your body is actually telling you.

Meet Color Mending—the evidence-backed tool that helps you understand what you're feeling and why, without rehashing your past or having to find the perfect words.

Why this works when other Tools don’t?
Color Mending is based on the Theory of Constructed Emotion—the scientific understanding that emotions are information your brain creates to help you stay balanced.
When you color out what you're feeling, you:
Bypass your analytical mind (that keeps you stuck in loops)
Access body wisdom (that knows what you actually need)
Get clear insights (about what's really going on)
Take meaningful action (instead of just understanding)
Developed over 6 years with 250+ people. Backed by neuroscience. Simple enough for kids, powerful enough for adults.
Color Mending Therapy Is…
An approach that lets you express emotions without words

A way to diagnose or label mental health conditions
