Anna is developing TEG-Blue (The Emotional Gradient Blueprint), a comprehensive emotional intelligence framework designed to help people understand themselves and others better.
This represents almost two years of intensive, largely independent development work connecting the dots between established frameworks in psychology, neuroscience, education, anthropology and lived experience.
This approach does not replace existing models. It makes them visual, easy to digest, making their insights usable as part of one system. The result is both practical and rigorous — a framework that is testable, teachable, and grounded in the knowledge that has already shaped these fields.
Anna's goal is helping people navigate emotional states without judgment while understanding the protective functions of all emotions.
Design Philosophy
TEG-Blue is built around a simple premise: orientation, not diagnosis. Emotional states are information, not pathology — and the tools designed to explore them should reflect that.
Everything in the framework is designed to be visual, interactive, and grounding. Complex ideas are made accessible without being oversimplified. The aim is that anyone — whether a therapist, an educator, or someone simply trying to understand their own patterns — can find a way in.
Research
Anna's validation study, Detecting Regulatory States in Natural Language, is published on Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18428907). The study analyzed over 10,000 Reddit posts and found that self-awareness — measured through complexity markers in language — predicted whether individuals escalate toward harm or return to connection when challenged.
