The Today App by Chapter
Self-Guided Help
Today is Chapter’s free self-guided reading practice, a little support you can explore on your own, separate from therapy and workshops.
Each chapter opens with something fascinating from relationship research: why a gentle start-up predicts how a fight ends, or why we turn toward some bids and miss others. You see yourself in it, then take one small, practical step.
Today is a free educational resource from Chapter, not a therapy portal or crisis service. It does not replace psychotherapy, medical care, or confidential treatment.
If you are a Chapter client, contact your therapist directly. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself or others, call 911 or 988 now.

Discover a finding. Understand yourself through it. Try one small thing. Research on habit formation (Lally et al., 2010) suggests small actions repeated in a steady context become automatic over time. The aim isn't a perfect relationship, just a more authentic one.
