About LIMIA
LIMIA is a clinical thinking elaboration system created to support psychologists and psychoanalysts in the work that happens between the session and human supervision. It emerges to sustain a real problem in contemporary clinical practice: high cognitive and emotional load, little time for post-session elaboration, not always immediate access to supervision, and the silent risk of burnout, acting out, and poorly elaborated decisions.
What is LIMIA
LIMIA was not conceived to replace clinical practice, supervision, or professional judgment. On the contrary: its function is to protect the complexity of clinical work and strengthen the professional's role.
Therefore, it is not AI therapy, not clinical automation, does not perform diagnosis, and does not prescribe conduct. Its role is different: to function as a device for mediating professional thinking, with ethical, technical, and symbolic rigor.
The system was designed to help the professional:
- —Organize clinical material rigorously
- —Differentiate facts, hypotheses, and reactivity
- —Sustain better clinical questions
- —Qualify what will be brought to supervision
- —Reduce invisible mental strain and impulsive decisions
- —Preserve setting, ethics, and professional responsibility
The LIMIA Method
A structure of clinical thinking composed of four layers of reflection.
Reading clinical material — Organizes what was actually observed, separating material, inference, and gaps.
Interpretation and setting — Examines limits, setting, contract, ethical risks, and need for immediate attention.
Intersubjective mediation — Works on the impact of the case on the professional, tensions in the clinical relationship, and impasses in the process.
Clinical openings — Produces qualified questions, provisional hypotheses, and points that need to be brought to human supervision.
Ethical Positioning
LIMIA emerges from a simple and decisive premise: before any intervention, there must be elaboration.
There is a structural void between what emerges in the session and the moment that material can be thought through more deeply in supervision. It is in this threshold that LIMIA operates.
When clinical thinking gains structure, the interval between sessions transforms. Rumination decreases, hypotheses become clearer, and the solitude of clinical practice is eased.
Our Vision
A future where clinical thinking is sustained, where the professional has time and space to elaborate, where the solitude of practice is eased by structure and rigor. A future where technology serves clinical work, not replaces it.
