## What is Reclaim Yourself?

If you survived abuse, you already know that the damage didn't stop when the abuse did. You escaped, but you carried something with you — an identity that isn't yours. The way you shrink in rooms. The way you apologize for existing. The way you freeze when you should fight. The way you fight when there's no need. The way you manage everyone's emotions at the expense of your own. None of that is you. That's what was installed in you by people who used fear and intimidation to allow them to inflict their abuse without challenge.

"Reclaim Yourself" is a daily practice tool built for trauma survivors. It works on a simple and powerful principle: the identity and emotions your abuser imposed on you can be rejected, and the identity that is actually yours can be restored.

HOW IT WORKS
The app has two lists you look at every day. It should be at least a morning routine.
The first list is "That's Not Me." These are the emotions, behaviors, and identities that were forced on you. Things like freezing under pressure, people-pleasing out of fear, apologizing for having needs, tolerating treatment you would never inflict on someone else, and so on. You read each one, and you say in your head — forcefully, aggressively, and without apology — "That's not me."

The second list is "That's Me." These are the qualities, emotions, and ways of being that are authentically yours. The ones you admire. The ones you would have lived if no one had threatened you for becoming them. You read each one and you say with full confidence and aggression — "That's me."

The app comes with default lists based on the most common patterns trauma survivors experience. You add your own. You remove what doesn't apply. You build lists specific to your story.

JOURNAL YOUR RECOVERY
Tap any statement in either list to journal on it. Write about how it showed up in your day. Write about the moment you caught a forced identity operating in your body and rejected it. Write about the first time you assumed your real identity and meant it. This is your private record of taking your life back.

VISUALIZE WHO YOU ARE BECOMING
Save images that represent who you actually are — the person you are restoring. Look at them before you walk into a meeting, before a difficult conversation, before any moment where the old identity tries to show up. Physical visualization is one of the most effective tools for overwriting the neural pathways that trauma carved.

UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WORKS
The Insights section explains the psychology behind the app. Why your body still hurts after you escaped. Why your abuser's moral framework was built for their benefit and was never meant to apply to them. Why what you admire is the clearest signal of your true self. Why the forced identity fights back when you try to kill it — and why you shouldn't hold back.

BUILT FOR SURVIVORS, NOT PATIENTS
There is no login. There is no account. There is no backend collecting your data. Everything you write, save, and build in this app stays on your device and nowhere else. Your recovery is not content for someone else's database.
There is no gentle hand-holding. This app speaks to you the way a survivor needs to be spoken to — directly, fiercely, and with the understanding that you are fighting for your life. Because you are. It cannot be that you were born to be abused and die. That cannot be your whole story.
You have to live.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3 — 2026-06-20

This update focuses your journey
• Find your patterns. A new self-assessment on the Home tab lets you identify which of the 14 trauma responses (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn, Submit, Fragment, and more) show up in your life. The matching "That's not me" patterns and "That's me" reclaimed identities are pinned to the top of your suggestions so the statements you need are always one tap away.
• Polish and stability fixes throughout.

### 2.2 — 2026-06-07

The 2nd Stage
1. The 2nd Stage has been activated and is now available. After enough progress with Stage 1, where you internalize the "That's not me." and "That's me." statements, move to Stage 2 and engage your "Internal happiness."
2. Meditate and internalize statements that make you a perpetually happy person. Do this daily as well. The goal is to be happy without outsourcing the responsibility to anyone else. It's to become an incurably happy person.
3. Plan fun things to do and get notified when the time's close. Small moments and events can be so much fun. Fun doesn't need a perfect moment. It doesn't have to have the perfect circumstances. It's not always a big event, although those are fun too. Just plan a constant stream of fun. These plans are for your enjoyment, so don't beat yourself up if you don't do them all. Your job is to put down fun ideas when you think of them.

### 2.1 — 2026-05-26

This update makes Reclaim Yourself easier to grow with over time:
• Reorder your affirmations — arrange your statements in whatever sequence supports you best.
• Fresh content, delivered automatically — new "That's me" and "That's not me" statements, plus insights into how and why the app is designed to help, now download in the background. You no longer need to update the app to get the latest material.
• Update notifications — get a gentle heads-up whenever new content is added, so nothing slips past you.
Thank you for being here. We're continuing to build Reclaim Yourself so you can build yourself back up, stronger and more vibrant than ever.

### 2.0 — 2026-05-04

Reorder your statements
Long-press any card on the Home tab and drag it into a new position. Put what you're working on most at the top, push older ones further down. Works for both "That's Me" and "That's Not Me" lists, and your order is saved automatically.

Edit and delete statements
Open any statement to its Journal page and tap the menu button in the top right. Rename a statement as your wording evolves, or delete one you've outgrown. Deleting a statement also removes its journal entries — we'll ask you to confirm first.

Auto-sync with the latest catalog
The "Add" sheet now pulls the most current set of suggested statements from our cloud catalog in the background. As we add new prompts they show up the next time you open the app — no update required. The last fetched set is cached on your device, so suggestions still appear when you're offline.

Other improvements
• A smoother, more responsive Home tab.
• A daily reminder that nudges you to read through your statements and stay consistent — that's how a new identity sticks.
• Various performance and reliability fixes.
