Process variables
The Process variables are the visual representation of the therapeutic process that nexmin builds session by session. Each phenomenological variable (emotional processing, alliance, active engagement, integration…) generates an evolutionary line, and together they trace a map of the work done. It is the operational translation of the phenomenological process model.
The map metaphor is chosen on purpose. A map does not diagnose a territory — it describes it. Same here: the process variables do not label the client with a diagnostic category, it draws where the process has travelled. That distinction matters for humanistic, systemic and integrative therapists who reject the reductionism of the DSM as the sole lens. Each variable map lives on the client dashboard and updates after every session, once Scriba returns the validated note. Over that map you can read progress (has the alliance grown?), inflection points (was there a shift between session 8 and session 9?), and stuck zones (has this variable been flat for three months?). That reading belongs to the clinician — Pensa can point at where to look, but interpretation remains the therapist's. The variables include textual evidence (verbatim quotes from the client, with timestamp if the session was recorded) that justify the score for each session. That traceability is what makes these variables reviewable: the clinician can read the quote and disagree with the score whenever they think it appropriate.
Inside nexmin
The process variables are the main visualisation of the client inside nexmin. They appear on the cockpit's Holter dashboard and export as a PDF report to share back with the client or to refer to another professional.
