What Morpheus is meant for

These self-assessments serve two different functions: (i) The evaluation earlier than and after listening is archived and displayed to the person to provide motivating suggestions to the consumer about his or her feelings throughout the course of the therapy. With the user's consent, the therapist can acquire perception into the self-assessments collected. This knowledge is solely communicated, no remedy advice is derived based mostly on this data. (ii) The assessment throughout the listening is used to supply the user a distraction when a certain worth is exceeded, so that he or she can distance him- or herself from what he or she has simply heard. The user can reject the offer and continue listening.
