An adaptive tool to help Your clients navigate their inner world
Color Mending Therapy is an experience and research-based intervention that transforms feelings into visual insights.
A tool that works when words don’t
When your clients struggle to:
⛔ Put how they feel into words
⛔ Access emotions that feel overwhelming
⛔ Label the sensations in their body
⛔ Move beyond surface-level insights
⛔ Develop self-advocacy skills around their emotional needs
You need a tool that meets your clients exactly where they are.
What Color Mending Does
Color Mending is the simple practice of turning how you feel into any color and shape. It helps clients learn how emotions feel in their body—a critical skill for emotional regulation.
Why does this matter? When we can accurately identify and label the emotions we feel, we're able to choose better actions that bring our mind and body back into a state of regulation.
Based on Dr. Barrett's Theory of Constructed Emotion, Color Mending recognizes that we all feel emotions differently. It provides a personalized approach to help your clients navigate their inner experiences and build curiosity about what's happening inside of them.
How it transforms Your Practice
Creates Visual Cues for Working Memory
Color Mending creates tangible visual representations of internal experiences, giving you and your clients concrete reference points to work with session after session.
Builds An Emotional VocabularY
Transform vague descriptions into precise insights. When clients can name what they're experiencing, they can ask for what they need. This develops self-advocacy beyond therapy.
Accesses Root Cuases
When you can pinpoint what the body is trying to communicate (the root), you can collaborate with clients to develop potential solutions and clear directions forward.

“COlor Mending helped me confirm what I’m observing in my clients. I use it when clients don’t want to talk or use other forms of therapy.”
