The Free Interactive Parts Mapping Tool for EMDR Therapists

Screenshot 2025-11-16 142419.png

A fully customizable digital canvas for mapping internal systems—designed by a licensed psychotherapist and IFS level 2 trained clinician for use in EMDR, parts work, somatic therapy, expressive art therapy, trauma treatment, and dissociation-competent care.

​

Created by Sam Bergstein, founder of The Guided Studio, this tool helps therapists collaboratively map internal systems with clients using a clear, flexible, intuitive interface—without storing any client data or relying on external servers.

WHAT MAKES THIS TOOL UNIQUE

Built by an LISW-S, EMDR consultant, registered expressive arts therapist (REAT) and REAT supervisor and IFS level 2 trained clinician who specializes in neurodivergence, identity-affirming care, and complex trauma.

Trauma-Informed and Dissociation-Competent

  • No automatic “core self”
  • Custom terminology options
  • Consent prompts throughout
  • Structures that support OSDD/DID and otherwise dissociative systems
  • Awareness-level connection types

​

No Accounts. No Servers. No Tracking.

All data is stored only in the therapist’s browser. Nothing is transmitted or collected—ever.
