# Preveal

> Preveal is a psychological needs-identification tool that names the unmet need behind anxiety, dread, overwhelm, and inner disturbance. It uses somatic input and life context to surface the pattern already speaking beneath the surface.

## What Preveal is

Preveal is a body-first inner-life reading tool built on psychological needs theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Rogerian person-centred principles. It is not a diagnostic tool. It is a recognition tool — designed to name what a person already feels but cannot yet explain.

The tool operates on a two-layer architecture. The Lite Layer uses a deterministic matrix — body signal × life context — to surface a primary psychological need quickly. The Deep Layer uses natural language input from the user to refine, deepen, or override that reading, including detecting masking language when surface presentation contradicts the deeper need.

## How Preveal works

A full explanation of the tool's architecture, reading process, and seven psychological need categories is available at: preveal.life/how-it-works.html

## The six psychological needs Preveal identifies

- Ground and Safety — the need for stability and predictable ground
- Control and Stability — the need to feel capable of managing what is in front of you
- Connection and Reassurance — the need to feel genuinely seen and not alone
- Self-Trust and Worth — the need to feel steady in your own value
- Rest and Restoration — the need for genuine recovery, not just a break
- Meaning and Direction — the need for a path that feels genuinely yours

## Who Preveal is for

Preveal Personal ($27) is for individuals who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsettled and want to name what is underneath the feeling rather than simply manage it.

Preveal Practitioner Bundle ($97) is for coaches, therapists, social workers, and wellness professionals who want a supplementary needs-identification tool grounded in established psychological frameworks.

## What Preveal is not

Preveal is not therapy. It does not produce DSM-aligned assessments. It is not appropriate for acute crisis intervention. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool. It is a self-knowledge and supplementary professional tool built on evidence-informed frameworks. Nothing Preveal produces constitutes medical advice or a substitute for professional mental health support.
