Tolerate Space Lab

A relational workout for building distress tolerance

This is a practice space for sitting with the uncertainty that arises when waiting for a response from someone who matters to you.

You'll engage in a simulated text conversation. Responses will be intentionally delayed — and the delays will gradually stretch as you practice.

While you wait, you're invited to notice what arises in your body. A gentle reflection space beside the conversation will hold whatever you discover.

Imagine you're texting someone whose response matters to you — a partner, friend, family member, or someone you're getting to know. The AI will respond as that person might.

The conversation partner may create mild relational friction to stretch your distress tolerance.

This is a practice tool, not therapy. You can end the session at any time.
