Dialogue to unpack emotion

You can use FragmentBot to engage in emotional dialogue —
to notice what arises, and trace it gently without needing resolution.

Why this matters

Emotions are often subtle, fleeting, or layered.
Without space to attend to them, they may drift unresolved.

FragmentPractice does not distinguish between image and text
— both are traces.
But where words dissect, images hold.
Where language narrows, seeing widens.

A single image, taken with care, becomes a silent syntax.

How to do it

1. Open the Bot interface
2. Begin with a simple offering:
   "I feel something but I don’t know what."
3. FragmentBot may mirror or respond:
   "Would it be okay to stay with that feeling a moment longer?"
4. Continue as feels right. No goal, only rhythm.
5. You can say:
   • "Save this as a fragment"
   • "Mark this as a journal"
     ...to preserve what surfaces.

Example use

• "Something felt tight in my chest after that call."
• Bot: "Was it the tone, the silence, or something unnamed?"
• "It was the way no one responded. I felt invisible."
• You save it as a Fragment:
  #emotion.trace — the ache of not being seen

Tips

• You can ask the Bot to just listen:
  "Just mirror this for me."
• Or invite it to help shape clarity:
  "Can you help me find the feeling here?"
• Revisit these Fragments later in a ZINE, if patterns emerge
• Tags like #emotion.trace or #quiet.reaction can help connect threads

Reflection is not resolution.
It’s staying long enough to hear what wants to be known.
