Emotional Safety Through the Disappearing Diary

Client Profile: Happapp – A wellness-focused startup with a hybrid workforce and a deeply vulnerable team culture.

Challenge: The leadership noticed that while employees were "performing," they weren’t "expressing." Journaling tools were underused, and therapy helplines were perceived as too formal or judgmental.

Solution: Dear Mind introduced its Disappearing Diary and Venting Sessions:

• The diary auto-erased entries after 7 days, creating psychological safety.

• Confidential, talk-only “venting spaces” let employees speak freely without advice or feedback.

• Active Care Loop was deployed for ongoing nudges and journaling encouragement.

Results:

• ✅ 5x increase in emotional journaling entries

• ✅ 87% of employees reported feeling “seen and heard”

• ✅ 41% improvement in internal engagement scores

• ✅ 26% increase in employees opting into follow-up meditation sessions

Testimonial:

“The diary entries gave our team a space to be raw and real. The follow-up nudges weren’t just tech—they were reminders that mental health is seen and held here.”— CEO, Happapp
