Phase Map

Phase Map tracks relational and emotional states over time. Instead of pretending things are “fine” or “ruined”, you track phases: stable, strained, volatile, rebuilding, aligned.

Once you see phases as cycles instead of verdicts, you stop reacting like everything is permanent. You respond based on where you are in the arc.

How to use it

  • • Define clear labels for phases that matter in your context.
  • • Update phase when reality changes, not when you’re flooded.
  • • Compare Phase Map against Bridge Timeline to detect patterns.

Future tools will visualize this over time so you can see drift and recovery at a glance.
