The Target Details screen provides a comprehensive view of your processing journey for a specific target. This article explains how to access and interpret the information on this screen to track your progress over time.
Accessing the Target Details Screen
To view details for a specific target:
Navigate to the Journey tab in the bottom navigation
Tap on the target you want to view
The Target Details screen will open, displaying all information about your selected target
Understanding the Target Details Layout
The Target Details screen is organized into several sections:
Target Summary
At the top of the screen, you'll see:
Target Name: The identifier you created for this target
Creation Date: When you first created this target
Current Distress Level: Your most recently recorded distress rating
Initial Distress Level: The distress rating when you first created the target
Distress Chart
The visual graph shows how your distress levels have changed over time:
The y-axis represents distress levels (0-10)
The x-axis shows dates/sessions
Data points represent distress ratings from each session
Trend line shows the overall direction of your progress
How to interpret the chart:
Downward trend: Indicates progress as distress decreases
Plateau: Common during processing—sometimes levels stabilize before decreasing further
Temporary increases: Normal part of processing—distress may occasionally increase before decreasing
Tip: Tap on any data point to see the exact distress rating and date for that session.
Target Components
This section displays the detailed information you entered when creating the target:
Associated Memories: Specific events connected to this target
Current Triggers: Situations that activate distress related to this target
Negative Beliefs: Unhelpful beliefs about yourself, with believability rating
Positive Beliefs: Preferred beliefs about yourself, with believability rating
Emotional Responses: Feelings that arise when thinking about this target
Physical Sensations: How this target manifests in your body
Session History
This section lists all processing sessions you've completed for this target:
Date and time of each session
Duration of each session
Pre-session distress level
Post-session distress level
Insights & observations you recorded after each session
Tap on any session to view its complete details, including the specific settings you used (movement pattern, speed, etc.).
Using Target Details Effectively
Tracking Progress
The Target Details screen helps you track progress in several ways:
Distress reduction: Compare your current distress level to your initial rating
Belief changes: Notice if negative beliefs feel less true and positive beliefs more true
Trigger sensitivity: Note if situations that once triggered you now feel more manageable
Pattern recognition: Identify which session settings or approaches work best for you
Target Completion
How do you know when you've completed processing a target?
Distress level has decreased significantly (typically to 0-2)
Negative beliefs no longer feel true (typically 1-2 on the 1-7 scale)
Positive beliefs feel mostly true (typically 5-7 on the 1-7 scale)
You can think about the target without significant emotional distress
Triggers no longer activate intense reactions
When you feel a target is complete:
You can mark it as Completed using the options menu
The target will move to your "Completed Targets" section
You can still access it for reference or additional processing if needed
Troubleshooting
If you don't see expected information on the Target Details screen:
Ensure you've completed at least one processing session for this target
Check that you saved your post-session ratings and insights
Verify that your app is updated to the latest version
Try refreshing the screen by pulling down on the screen
Remember that healing is rarely linear. Fluctuations in distress levels are a normal part of the processing journey. The overall trend over time is more important than any individual session result.
