Interlude - the space between sessions

Therapy is weekly, but struggle is daily. Clients spend 50 minutes with their therapist and then face six days alone — and most of the work quietly falls apart in between. Between-session homework is one of the strongest predictors of whether therapy works, and compliance is famously poor. Interlude is a practitioner-gated reflection platform that fixes this without pretending to be a therapist. A licensed practitioner invites each client with a unique code. No code, no access. Once inside, the client lands in a workspace their therapist has configured: session notes, a personal message, and the exercises they've been asked to work on. Clients can do three kinds of structured introspective work — daily check-ins, CBT-style thought records, and values reflections — alongside a journal, a mood tracker, a follow-up list, and a direct message thread with their practitioner. The AI's role is deliberately narrow: it asks one or two open questions that mirror the client's own words back. It never interprets, never diagnoses, never advises. That's the therapist's job, and every screen says so. Safety is built into the architecture. There is always a real human in the loop, and a crisis interceptor surfaces resources the moment concerning language appears — and flags the practitioner dashboard in red. On the other side, the therapist sees every client's week at a glance: mood trends, a chronological logbook, flagged entries, shared files. The next session no longer starts with "so, how have you been?" It starts with "I saw what you wrote on Tuesday." The same architecture extends from stress and anxiety into couples, teen, grief, and community health settings like postpartum care in low-resource regions. Interlude doesn't replace therapy. It makes the time between sessions count.
