Emotional check ins are my partner and my daily tasker from our therapy app. We been doing daily check ins to make sure we track what each others are feeling and how we can assist.

To be frank, I don’t know how to properly read and understand my “partners” emotional check ins and what I can do to truly understand and help my partner.

I know emotional check ins help become self-aware of my own self, help communicate that feeling of mine, and check my mental health to ensure I catch early signs of burnout, anxiety, or depression early, but I don’t know what I can do to help my partner with her information.

Regularly checking in shows that we both care and we are both invested. It also creates space for conversations, but I’m not sure how we can leverage that space when there’s limited time in our day.

How do I truly read what partner write? I think the best thing to do here is to ask her about it moving forward. I think I have to do that to foster empathy and strengthen trust. Not only is this effort showing that I read her check ins, but show that I care about her checking in.
