Question 1 of 4
Before you start
Shinn is an AI and can get things wrong. It is not therapy or advice, and not for emergencies: if you are in danger, call your local emergency number. Your words are sent to an AI model provider. Under its commercial terms, the provider does not use them to train its models. No person at Shinn reads what you write. For ages 18 and over.
A sentence is plenty.

A map looks like this
Four questions, then one map. This one started with:
My sister and I have not spoken since the wedding. Three months. I want to fix it and I keep not calling.
Goal: being back in your sister's life
You are not waiting for the right words. You are waiting to feel less angry first, and that day is not coming on its own.
What might keep it stuck
Waiting to feel ready
Every week you do not call, the call gets bigger. Silence is doing the talking for both of you.
The fight is not the point
The wedding is where it surfaced. What hurts is feeling like she did not see you, which is older than that day.
You are still the one who fixes things
That is why it is on you. It is also why it could work.
What might be underneath
Calling first feels like saying the fight was your fault, so you wait for her to go first.
Your next step
Tonight, send one line: I miss you. Can we talk this week? Nothing else, no explanation.
Try it, then come back and tell Shinn how it went.
Another way to look at it
Going first is not the same as saying you were wrong. It only says the silence costs you more than the argument does.
How it works
Say what is on your mind, big or small.
Shinn helps you see what might be in the way.

Talk it through with Shinn instead. Here is Shinn's reply to the same situation:

Then come back and tell Shinn what she said.
At home or at work
At home
"I keep putting off a conversation with my father."
At work
"My manager takes credit for my work and I say nothing."
Bring a situation with someone in your life or at work. Shinn helps you see how to handle it.
What you can count on
Honest, not harsh.
A sounding board, not therapy.
