What's New in Cathexis
2.3.5
May 21, 2026
Two new free programs for people in crisis. Still Here is a 7-day somatic safety practice for when staying feels difficult — it builds a personal Somatic Safety Plan grounded in your body's signals. New Ground is a 7-day practice for when your world changed without warning — displacement, disaster, violence, forced transition — and builds a personal Somatic Crossing Map. Both are completely free. New territory program: Navigating Change — a 30-day program for identity shifts and life transitions. Six data sources now feed your patterns: Apple Health, Calendar, Motion & Activity, Health Records (FHIR clinical records), Location, and Weather. All on-device. Substance use and medication change logging — your patterns make more sense when the full picture is visible. Ask your somatic field questions by voice or text and receive personalized observations grounded in your own data. Five Siri Shortcuts: check in, start a practice, somatic summary, weekly observation, and practice recommendation. Monthly Reflections generate ongoing somatic narratives after you complete a program. Verified support resources for crisis, self-harm, eating disorders, substance use, domestic violence, and sexual assault — always accessible from the Resources tab. Daily Briefing, cross-tab navigation between Profile and Insights, full style and typography sweep, and narration density improvements across all programs.
