Grounded in Science
Kimochi leaves nothing to chance. Our introspection method is based on decades of research in emotional psychology and interpersonal communication, adapted for a simple and soothing digital experience.
Universal Emotions
For our Inner Weather function, we rely on the work of psychologist Paul Ekman . His pioneering research demonstrated the existence of fundamental universal emotions, common to all human cultures .
Kimochi uses this foundation to allow you to instantly identify your general state (energy, tension) before delving into the nuances. It's the necessary anchor for any introspection.
Emotional Granularity
Neuroscience teaches us that "naming it is taming it." To help you find the right words for your feelings, Kimochi incorporates the logic of the Wheel of Emotions (inspired by the work of Robert Plutchik ) and the needs lists used by support professionals.
This approach allows you to navigate from the simplest emotions to the most subtle nuances, thus increasing your emotional intelligence over time.
Listening to Needs
Kimochi's core is based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg . This proven method posits that behind every emotion, pleasant or unpleasant, lies a fundamental need (security, connection, autonomy...).
Our "Exploration" program guides you step by step through this cognitive process: observing the facts without judgment, identifying the feeling, and connecting it to a root need. It's not magic; it's a logical method for regaining clarity.
