Crowdfunding since 2010

A farewell ritual to tangibly preserve therapeutic successes, resources, and coping strategies.

Our 'Aember Resources Talisman Box' provides a unique way to facilitate farewells in therapeutic settings. The accompanying ritual is not only a celebration of achievements, but also a sustainable way to internalize them. Our box has proven successful in practice, and now we aim to reach more therapists and improve farewells for more clients. We believe that a good ending can be the start of something new.

What is this project all about?

The Aember Resource Talisman is the first product of PYLON tools for therapy, a newly founded start-up with the aim of modernizing and rethinking psychotherapeutic materials.

Psychotherapy can extend over a long period of time, and often a close relationship develops between client and therapist. However, at the end of therapy, both sides must say goodbye to each other. Clients lose continuous support for everyday problem-solving and are now on their own.

With your support, we at PYLON tools for therapy want to make this farewell easier and have developed the Aember Resource Talisman for this purpose.
This is produced to say goodbye to clients in the last session, to review the therapeutic process and record successes.
The farewell ritual for creating the talisman is suitable for both group and individual settings.
Inside it, Aember conceals a symbol for the burden with which the therapy began. This is surrounded by positive resources, symbolized by a smart material. In the hands of the clients, this is formed into the Aember Resource Talisman. The individually shaped talisman can be taken into everyday life in the form of a keychain.

The Aember Talisman is unique and only fits in the hand of the person who created it. This can help in the post-therapeutic period to remember their own desires, resources, and learned coping strategies.

Aember is a materialized anchor that reminds clients that they are more than just their experiences or symptoms. These will always be a part of them, but the positive resources take up much more space.

Support us in bringing Aember to the market and making it more accessible to therapists.

Why would you support this project?

We aim to revolutionize the market of therapeutic products. Our Aember Resource Talisman is just the beginning of a whole product line waiting to be developed.

Our Aember Resource Talisman is already being used and appreciated by psychotherapists in Germany, with consistently positive feedback. With your support, we can increase its reach and provide more clients with an appropriate farewell.

We are proud to be a part of the growing number of women-founded companies. In Germany, only around 20% of startups are founded by women. We want to serve as an example for other women and inspire them to pursue their own dreams. Help us continue to grow, strengthen the role of women in leadership positions, and develop innovative products for mental health in Germany.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

We will use the funds to kickstart the production of the first small series of the Aember Resource Talisman box and use the profits to finance further product developments. Our platform will continue to grow, and new products to support psychotherapy, counseling, and coaching will be created in the shop in the coming months.

Who are the people behind the project?

We are Delphine, Maria, and Fiona, a team based in Leipzig. We are a game and learning designer, a product designer, and a prospective psychologist. Together, we have founded PYLON tools for therapy and work at the intersection of therapy and design. Our goal is to support psychotherapists, counselors, and coaches in their work through new products, rituals, and methods. The idea emerged in 2019 from Delphine Bishop's master's thesis at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in collaboration with (psycho-)therapists. They already use our Aember Resources Talisman Box to say goodbye to their clients at the end of therapy. We are motivated to continue developing our products and methods because we have so many ideas...

What are the sustainable development goals of this project?

Primary sustainable development goal

Health

Why does this project contribute to this goal?

Mental health is important to us. With our products, we support a successful therapy conclusion so that successes are sustained.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in some mental illnesses ... these have risen by 25% in the first year of the pandemic alone (WHO).

Therefore, for every Talisman Box sold, we donate €2 to the non-profit organization Freunde fürs Leben (Friends for Life) to raise more awareness for mental illnesses.

This project also pays toward those goals
