Is this app meant to solve my problems?

It’s tempting to think Gentle is about solving your deepest problems, but that’s not the goal. One of the expectations you agree to when you start is “I recognize I can’t fix others’ problems, but I can share kindness.”

If there is a “goal” in this app, it's to take the reflection and empathy it encourages into other parts of your life.

It's important to note that Gentle is not a replacement for counseling. If anything, I hope it will encourage people to seek out professional support when it's helpful.
