What our users are saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ by Marcus - 34yo, working through childhood emotional neglect
”I never understood why certain situations would trigger such intense emotions in me. Anna helped me connect these reactions to childhood experiences I hadn't realized were still affecting me. Now I can recognize the patterns as they happen.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ by Ellie - 29yo, processing family dynamics
“I was hesitant to explore my past at first, but Anna's approach was so gentle and insightful. I've tried traditional methods but found it hard to open up face-to-face. The emotional patterns I've identified have changed how I see myself and my relationships.”

Questions Redditors asked before trying Anna
How deep will this go? I'm worried about opening Pandora's box
Anna works at your pace. You control how deeply to explore, and can choose to stick with present patterns if that feels more comfortable. There's no pressure to dig into anything you're not ready for.
I've tried coaching before and felt judged. How is this different?
As an AI coach, Anna maintains complete non-judgment regardless of what you share. Many users report feeling more comfortable revealing difficult thoughts to Anna than to another person.
I'm not sure if my past is actually affecting me. How will I know?
Many people don't initially see connections between past and present. Anna helps you notice subtle patterns in your reactions that might indicate deeper influences. These "aha moments" often happen naturally through conversation.
Will this actually help or just make me overthink things?
Unlike overthinking, which typically spirals without resolution, psychodynamic exploration leads to clarity and insight. Users report feeling lighter and more self-aware rather than more anxious.
How is this different from talking to a regular AI chatbot?
Anna uses a psychodynamic framework specifically designed to identify emotional patterns and their origins. While general AI can have conversations, Anna guides you through a process of connecting your present reactions to formative experiences.
Is this actually private? Who sees my conversations?
No human ever sees your conversations. We use end-to-end encryption with the key stored only on your device, meaning even our team can't access your content. You can use the app completely anonymously.
Do I need to have experienced trauma to benefit?
No. Anna helps with understanding all types of emotional patterns. Many users benefit from exploring how ordinary childhood experiences shaped their emotional responses and relationship patterns.
How long before I notice a difference?
Most users report having significant 'aha moments' within their first few conversations. The deepest understanding typically develops over 2-3 weeks of consistent engagement (15-20 minutes every day or two).
What if I'm not sure what's causing my emotional patterns?
That's exactly what Anna helps with. Many people don't initially understand the origins of their emotional reactions. Through guided conversation, Anna helps you notice patterns and gradually explore potential connections to formative experiences.
