Why Soft Corner is not therapy
Soft Corner can be used for companionship, story, low-stakes reflection, and private conversation. It is not a licensed mental health service and should not be used as one.
No — Soft Corner is not therapy. It is AI companion chat for companionship and reflection, not counselling, diagnosis, crisis support, or medical care. Readers are software-generated personas, not licensed professionals. If you are in crisis, contact a qualified professional or local emergency services.
What therapy requires
Therapy involves licensed professionals, clinical responsibility, privacy obligations specific to care, assessment, treatment planning, and human accountability. A software-generated reader cannot provide those things.
What Soft Corner can support
- A place to talk casually or creatively.
- A companion-like reader for low-stakes conversation.
- Continuity and memory features where supported.
- Clear disclosure that you are interacting with AI.
When to seek human help
If you are in danger, thinking about self-harm, or worried you may hurt someone else, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately. For diagnosis, treatment, trauma care, or ongoing mental health support, speak with a licensed professional.
