VEX . for IFS practitioners

The protection shows up in how a client answers.

If you work in Internal Family Systems, you already know the first sessions are mapping: finding what guards the system and how it earned the job. VEX hands you a head start. A consented eight-minute read, taken before you meet, that shows how this client protects themselves under pressure, in plain behavioral language you can translate into your own model.

Read your first client free First three clients free. No card. Raw answers stay private, always.

Why this fits parts work

A new client's intake paperwork is written by the part that manages appearances. That is not a flaw, it is the system doing its job, but it means your first sessions are spent listening past the manager to find what it manages. The read arrives from a different angle: it looks at how the client answers, not just the content, and returns what they protect and the pattern that does the protecting.

The brief comes in plain language, deliberately. No parts vocabulary is imposed on the client or on you. You get behavior, honestly described, and you translate it into your own frame. The read often names, before you meet, the thing you would otherwise find in session three.

What it is not

Not diagnosis

VEX makes no clinical claims and infers nothing about health. It describes behavior, nothing underneath it.

Not therapy

The read is preparation for your work, not a substitute for it. Your judgment leads; the brief serves it.

Not surveillance

The client consents first, sees their own read, and owns it. Their raw writing is never shown to you.

How it runs

Send one link with your intake email. The client reads the consent screen and chooses to begin.

Six questions, answered in their own words on their phone. About eight minutes.

Your brief lands before the first session: what they protect, how the protection moves, where to begin.

Straight answers

Is the read framed in IFS language?

No, and on purpose. It arrives in plain behavioral language so nothing is imposed on your model. Most IFS practitioners find it maps cleanly onto protector and exile language in their own reading.

Is this clinically validated?

VEX is not a clinical instrument and makes no diagnostic claims. It is preparation for the practitioner: a behavioral read, consent-gated, that your judgment interprets.

What does my client experience?

A consent screen, six questions, about eight minutes. Afterward they own their read. Many practitioners debrief it together in session one.

What does it cost?

First three clients free forever, no card. Then Solo $199 a month or $1,990 a year, flat. Pricing.

Meet the system prepared. Three clients free forever, no card. Then $199 a month flat. Your client consents first and owns their read.
