Efteråt: stöd efter uppbrott

After a difficult breakup, loss, relief and self-doubt can exist at the same time. Afterwards offers Swedish, CBT-inspired self-support after a relationship with narcissistic or manipulative behaviors. Start with what you need today and make more space for your own life, one small action at a time.

UNDERSTAND WITHOUT DIAGNOSING
Read about concrete behaviors, gaslighting, self-blame, loss, control and life after separation. Narcissistic traits are not the same as an NPD diagnosis. The app does not diagnose you or your former partner. Your right to respect and support does not require a label on anyone else.

EIGHT SECTIONS AND MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES
The sections are open in any order and address security, self-doubt, contact impulses, your own boundaries, everyday routines, values ​​and support for more difficult days. Swedish care and knowledge sources as well as international studies are available in the app's source library with clear limitations.

SHORT, VOLUNTARY TOOLS
• Meet self-blame with a fairer meaning.
• Notice the loss and choose a gentle next step.
• Plan a small activity that makes room for your needs.
• Find a support channel without telling the whole story.
• Make a simple plan for more difficult moments.
• Track rumination, sleep, and everyday space approximately weekly.
• Try an optional 90-second pause in the present.

No exercise requires detailed retelling of difficult events, forgiveness, or reconnection. The app does not offer self-guided trauma exposure.

SAFETY AND NECESSARY CONTACT
Children, housing, or finances may make practical contact necessary. There is no universal advice to block all avenues of contact. A private draft can only be planned in a safe location; the app does not send messages. In the event of threats, stalking, or control, you will need individual support and a safety assessment. The app does not determine any legal obligations and does not provide any guarantees about security.

YOU CHOOSE WHETHER ANYTHING IS SAVED
Temporary mode is the default: goals, progress and notes are only in the app's memory and can be cleared. On a safe device, you can choose encrypted local storage. No app account, ads, analytics SDK, AI chat or cloud synchronization. Content and exercises work without the internet. The app does not have its own passcode lock. External sources and support paths open in another app or browser and may leave traces.

CBT-INSPIRED SELF-SUPPORT, WITH LIMITATIONS
Afterwards is for adults from 18 years of age and has not been clinically tested for effectiveness. Studies by therapists, guided online treatment or other target groups do not prove the effectiveness of the app. The weekly self-assessments are not diagnostic tests. Recovery has no set time limit.

Afterwards is not a medical device. The app does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent medical conditions. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The app is not a substitute for medical care, professional safety planning or legal advice. Pause an exercise that makes you feel unwell and seek support. In case of emergency or risk of harm: call 911.

A one-time purchase grants access to the app's content. No subscription or in-app purchases.
