Grounding is an immediate, powerful way to reduce any intense negative feeling (e.g., anger, stress, depression, anxiety, addiction craving, or impulse to hurt yourself or others). It gives you control over your feelings so you can make good choices. It can be done anytime, anywhere, silently. You can ground on the bus... in the classroom… at work… while waiting on line. There are three types of grounding: mental, physical, and soothing (mind, body, heart). This app is for anyone but is especially helpful for people struggling with mental health or addiction. Learn how grounding differs from meditation or relaxation (hint: it’s more active). Grounding is from the best-selling book Seeking Safety.

About

CoParent Shield

Read full description

You know something is wrong with the message you just received. You just can't prove it, name it, or figure out how to respond without making things worse. CoParent Shield is a private AI coaching app built for parents navigating high-conflict co-parenting situations. It helps you understand what's happening in every message, respond without escalating, and build the documentation record your attorney actually needs. UNDERSTAND WHAT'S REALLY BEING SAID Paste in a message. CoParent Shield analyzes it and names the tactic being used — DARVO, gaslighting, guilt-tripping, JADE, triangulation, reactive abuse bait, coercive control — in plain language, with an explanation of why it works and what it's designed to make you do. RESPOND WITHOUT LOSING GROUND The app suggests BIFF-aligned responses — Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm — the de-escalation method family law attorneys and high-conflict specialists recommend. You get 2-3 options to send or adapt. No more drafting alone while dysregulated. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. FINALLY WITH A REAL SYSTEM. Every incident logged becomes a structured, court-appropriate entry — dates, facts, context, escalation flags. Not a notes app. Not screenshots in a folder. Actual documentation your attorney can use. TALK TO YOUR KIDS WITHOUT PUTTING THEM IN THE MIDDLE Generate age-appropriate scripts for the hard conversations — school transitions, holiday logistics, questions they ask that you don't know how to answer without badmouthing the other parent. SEE THE PATTERN, NOT JUST THE MESSAGE Over time, CoParent Shield identifies escalation patterns across your interactions — useful for custody hearings, modification requests, and understanding what's actually happening. THIS IS YOUR TOOL. YOUR CO-PARENT NEVER KNOWS IT EXISTS. CoParent Shield is not a shared platform. It is your private intelligence layer — built for adversarial situations where you need to be calm, strategic, and documented. Journal entries are stored on your device only and never sent anywhere. Built by a parent who needed this and couldn't find it. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Full access requires a subscription. $9.99/month or $69.99/year 7-day free trial included Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://coparentshield.net/privacy
