What Is TEG-Blue™?
The Emotional Gradient Blueprint is a system of tools that helps you measure emotional patterns—like
At the center are our Emotional Tools & Gradient Scales—simple, visual tools that show how these behaviors shift depending on someone’s emotional state or intent.
Behind them are 8 Map Levels—frameworks that explain why these shifts happen:
trauma, survival responses, nervous system overload, or manipulative intent.
The Emotional Gradient Blueprint is grounded in emotional accountability, pattern recognition, and creating a world where people feel safe. That means holding both thepotential for growth
reality of harm
The Emotional Gradient Blueprint doesn’t replace therapy.
But it helps you walk into therapy—or life—with more clarity and language for what’s real.
It’s a reclaiming of emotional intelligence.
A way to turn conflict, burnout, and confusion into clarity, repair, and connection.
This is an Al-Aligned Human Behavior Model.
This is emotional technology.

The 8 Levels of Our Emotional MapTEG-Blue™ doesn’t ask, “What’s wrong with me?”
It helps you see:
- Why people hurt each other without meaning to
- Why some people cross the line into intentional harm
- Why emotional wounds get passed from one generation to the next
- Why systems like patriarchy or performance culture keep us disconnected
- And how we can begin to build real emotional safety—inside and between us
It asks: “What is my nervous system trying to protect me from?”

“Even a 70% accurate mode signal cuts toxic escalation by ≥30%.” — Copilot Research Team, 15 June 2025
We asked the most powerful AI systems how to prevent emotional harm at scale.

Train machines to detect Defense Mode before it escalates into harmful patterns.
Emotion-Safe AI: What Copilot, Perplexity, Claude & DeepSearch Said About TEG-BlueDeep Research Schema – June 2025 (Internal Reference)
My personal take on AIA Quick Note from the author “I’m not here to convince you I’m right. I’m here because I’ve seen something I can’t unsee. Something that explains why emotional harm keeps repeating—between people, between generations, and now even through machines. I built TEG-Blue for those who feel the same thing but don’t have the words. I’m not selling a system. I’m mapping a survival path. And I don’t want to be alone in it anymore.”

My Personal Take On Narcissism
This is not a diagnosis. It’s a reflection. What we call “narcissism” is often a survival pattern built in childhood. In this piece, I explore how I’ve been hurt by narcissistic behavior—and how I’ve also carried it myself. It’s a deeply personal look at how emotional harm passes through families, and what it takes to break the cycle without losing your heart.
