About TEG-Blue
Who created TEG-Blue?
TEG-Blue was created by Anna Paretas-Artacho, working independently from Barcelona, Spain. The project brings together cross-disciplinary research, visual pattern tools, and plain-language nervous system education.
What makes TEG-Blue different?
Many emotional tools ask you to label a feeling or decide who is right. TEG-Blue asks a more practical question: what is the nervous system doing here? That makes it useful when accountability, care, control, anger, boundaries, hurt, harm, or repair feel confusing.
Is TEG-Blue based on research?
Yes. TEG-Blue draws from research across neuroscience, psychology, attachment, systems thinking, trauma studies, and related fields. The public framework, methodology, source traces, publications, and research questions live at teg-blue.org.
How do emotions fit in?
Emotions are signals from the nervous system. They carry information about safety, impact, needs, boundaries, memory, and relationship conditions. The tools help you read that information without turning it into blame.
Using the Tools
Where should I begin?
Start with the tool that matches the question already in front of you. Try How Boundaries Work for space and contact, Hurt vs Harm for painful situations, Accountability Scale for repair, Am I People-Pleasing? for automatic yeses, Honest Self-Love for self-trust, or Am I Overreacting? for signal and echo.
Do I need to read the theory first?
No. The public tools are designed to stand on their own. You can use them without knowing the research framework behind them.
What tools are available right now?
The public library currently focuses on plain-language tools for boundaries, hurt and harm, accountability, people-pleasing, self-love, signal and echo, care and control, and anger. More tools will return as they are rewritten for the new .com direction.
Can I use the tools to understand someone else?
Yes, carefully. The tools can help you notice patterns in another person, but they are not a diagnosis. They are best used to clarify what you can observe, what affects you, and what kind of boundary or response may be needed.
Do the tools tell me what to do?
No. They help you read the nervous system pattern more clearly. Decisions about action, repair, distance, or support belong to the context and to the people involved.
Payments & Access
Do I need to pay to use TEG-Blue right now?
No. Payments are paused while the public tool library is being refined. Use the available tools freely for now.
Will paid plans come back later?
Likely, yes. The site is being prepared so profiles, tool tracking, and payments can be added cleanly later.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed to read and use the public tools. A profile is optional and is meant for saving notes, bookmarks, progress, and tool history once those features are ready.
What happens to old pricing links?
Old pricing and upgrade links now point to a paused-payments page. Checkout pages are not part of the public flow while this rebuild is happening.
Accounts & Privacy
What will profiles be for?
Profiles are planned for private notes, bookmarks, saved tool results, progress, and pattern history. They are not required for public tool use.
Are saved reflections private?
Yes. Personal notes, saved tool responses, bookmarks, and progress are intended to be private to your account. We do not sell personal reflections or tool responses.
What data do you collect?
If you create a profile, we collect basic account information and any notes or tool responses you choose to save. Payments are paused, so payment details are not part of the current public flow.
Can I delete my account and data?
Yes. Under GDPR, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to processing. Contact hello@teg-blue.com for privacy requests.
Where is TEG-Blue based?
TEG-Blue is based in Spain, in the European Union, and is designed with GDPR privacy expectations in mind.
Safety
Is TEG-Blue therapy?
No. TEG-Blue is educational. It helps read nervous system and relational patterns, but it is not a substitute for therapy, diagnosis, treatment, or crisis support.
Can TEG-Blue replace working with a therapist?
No. It can give you language to bring into therapy or personal reflection, but professional care is still important for trauma, crisis, mental health conditions, or unsafe situations.
Is this suitable if I am in crisis?
No. If you are in immediate danger or crisis, contact local emergency services, a crisis hotline, or a qualified mental health professional. TEG-Blue is for reflection when you have enough stability to engage with the material.
Will the tools tell me whether someone is harmful?
No tool can decide that for you. TEG-Blue can help you notice repeated effects, accountability, repair, confusion, safety, and impact. Use that clarity alongside support, context, and your own judgment.
Can the content be triggering?
Some tools discuss difficult relationship patterns, emotional pain, harm, and accountability. Use them at your own pace and take breaks when needed.
Professional Use
Can I use TEG-Blue with clients or students?
The public tools can be shared for non-commercial educational use with attribution. For formal use in paid sessions, workshops, training, products, or organizations, contact us about licensing.
Is the framework validated for clinical use?
No. TEG-Blue has research foundations and public research materials, but it is not validated as a diagnostic or clinical treatment system. Professionals should use their own training and judgment.
Can researchers collaborate?
Yes. Visit teg-blue.org for the public framework, methodology, source traces, and collaboration context.
Technical
What browsers do you support?
TEG-Blue works best on current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Is there a mobile app?
Not right now. TEG-Blue is currently a responsive web platform that works in mobile browsers.
Can I use TEG-Blue offline?
No. The site requires an internet connection to load tools and, later, to save profile activity.
How do I report a bug?
Email hello@teg-blue.com with the page, what you expected, what happened, and your browser or device details. Screenshots are helpful.
