You have been recommending journaling for years.
It almost never sticks, and it was never their discipline.
Innerfolk sends one written question each morning, chosen for the chapter of life somebody is actually in. A few lines are enough. At the end of the year, what they wrote becomes a book.
A free membership for you. 14 days free and $79 a year for the people you work with, on the digital membership. No commission. If they choose, their session page comes to your desk.
WHY IT DOES NOT STICK
The hard part was never the writing.
They bought the notebook. They wrote four entries in January and stopped, and when you asked, they said they had been busy.
They were not too busy. They were sitting at a blank page at seven in the morning being asked to decide what mattered.
Choosing what to write about is a second task, it arrives at the worst moment of the day, and it is the one nobody warns them about.
WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DO
Three things. That is the whole of it.
They say what is on their mind.
Work, money, love, something ending, something they cannot name yet. Six taps, once.
A question arrives each morning.
Already chosen. Approved by a person, not generated the moment they open it.
Their year becomes a book.
A year after they start, their entries are typeset and bound. What they thought, hoped for and noticed, in their own words.
BETWEEN SESSIONS
They bring what they choose.
Each person has a session page. The morning before a session we ask what they want to make sure they say, and they can add it, along with any entry from their journal.
They bring it however suits them: on their phone in the room, printed, emailed to themselves, or as a link that stops working after a week. If they would rather bring nothing, nothing is sent. The morning after, one question about what they want to keep.
THE PRACTICE DESK
If they choose, their page comes to you.
For practitioners who would like to read the page before the session. It is the same page your client sees, nothing more, and it reaches you only if they connect.
You invite. They decide.
Tap Invite a client for a one-time code and pass it along. Your client enters it in the Session section of their journal and chooses to connect. We never ask you for a client’s email.
You read it on your review day.
Their shared page waits for the day you choose. Send a short note, up to 300 characters, or set one question for the week. They answer privately and decide whether to share the answer.
Never their journal.
You see only what they place on the page and keep shared, from the day they connect. Never the journal, how often they write, or anything they keep private or remove. They can stop sharing at any time, and your access ends at once.
Inviting takes one tap.
Copy the code into a text, or open a message in your own email with the instructions already written. Your client’s address never reaches us.
The desk is not a crisis channel, and your clients are told so. To use it, your practice signs our business associate agreement, which we send after we approve your request.
WHY IT MAY SUIT YOUR WORK
Four things we deliberately did not build.
No AI reply
Nothing interprets, reflects back, or offers an opinion on what somebody wrote. The page stays quiet, which is the point.
No scoring
No mood graph, no streak, no progress bar. Nothing that turns a week into a number a person can fail at.
No monitoring
We do not read entries and cannot flag them, and nothing alerts you to what anybody writes. This is not a crisis tool, and we say so plainly.
It finishes
A year after somebody starts, their year closes and becomes a book. It is designed to end rather than to be used forever.
Everything a member writes exports as plain text, any time, with no request. If they leave, it leaves with them.
THE PART YOU ARE EXPECTING
There is no commission.
Fee-splitting is prohibited under the APA and ACA codes and by most state boards. We are not going to ask you to carry that for twenty dollars.
And it would spoil the thing. What makes your recommendation worth anything is that you gain nothing from it. A client can feel the difference even when they cannot name it.
No code with your name on it. No report of who signed up. Your desk shows only the clients who choose to connect. We do not want to know the rest.
Coaching is unregulated and commercial referral is normal there, so we do run a paid program for coaches. We would rather tell you that than have you find out.
WHAT WE ARE OFFERING
Free for you. Longer and cheaper for them.
FOR YOU
Innerfolk Edition, free
The $249 tier, with the printed book, for as long as you are practicing.
Because we would like you to have written in it through a difficult February before you mention it to anybody.
FOR THE PEOPLE YOU WORK WITH
14 days free, then $79
The standard trial is shorter and the standard price is $99.
Twice the standard trial, and $20 off. The hesitation is never the price; it is whether they will keep it up.
TAKE THESE WHETHER OR NOT YOU TAKE ANYTHING ELSE
The question library
Three hundred questions, each approved by a person, organized by what somebody is going through. Yours to use in your groups whether or not you take a membership.
Nothing to sign up for, and no attribution needed.
HOW YOU HAND IT ON
One page. No identifiers.
THE CARD YOU HAND OVER
Six cards, C1 to C6, one for each kind of chapter. A box of fifty comes as an even mix, or weighted toward the ones you use most. Nothing on any card identifies you, your client, or what the card is for.
innerfolk.co/p/c1 to c6
The same six for every practitioner. Each opens questions for one kind of chapter, and none contains anything about you or your client.
- Your complimentary membership is not tied to referrals. There are no commissions, referral targets, or reports of who joins
- No code, no cookie, no tracking parameter, no attribution
- We cannot tell you how many of your clients joined. A client appears on your desk only if they choose to connect
IF SOMEBODY ASKS WHETHER YOU ARE PAID
No. I get a free membership because I use it, not for recommending it. There is no commission, and they have no way of knowing whether you signed up.
True, and short enough to say without it becoming a conversation.
JOINING
The next person you say it to could still be writing next year.
A person reads every one of these and replies. We ask once for a license number or a professional body, and we do not keep it after we have checked it.
We use the address for the cards and nothing else. No newsletter, and we will not pass it on.
Thank you.
A person will read this and reply, usually within a working day. If you would rather just email, we are at support@innerfolk.co.
There is no obligation and no reporting. To use the desk, your practice signs our business associate agreement, which we send with our reply. Already approved? Sign in to your desk.
A private journal that asks the questions,
and ends
