# Therapy & Journal Analyzer

Part of the **mindwork** suite. Analyzes transcripts and journal entries to identify patterns, themes, and track progress.

## What It Does

1. **Reads** the specified transcript or journal entry
2. **Loads context** from recent analyses (last 5 by default)
3. **Identifies** cognitive patterns and potential distortions
4. **Extracts** emotional themes and triggers
5. **Tracks progress** compared to previous sessions
6. **Saves** structured analysis to the configured output folder

## Prerequisites

- A `mindwork.yaml` config file (optional but recommended)
- Transcript or journal files to analyze

## Usage Examples

## How to Perform Analysis

When analyzing content, follow this structured approach:

### Step 1: Load Configuration

Check for `mindwork.yaml` in these locations (in order):
1. Current directory (`./mindwork.yaml`)
2. XDG config (`~/.config/mindwork/config.yaml`)
3. Home directory (`~/.mindwork.yaml`)

Extract:
- `outputs.analysis` - where to save analysis files
- `preferences.context_count` - how many recent analyses to load (default: 5)

### Step 2: Load Context

Read the most recent analysis files from the output directory for context. This enables progress tracking across sessions.

Look for files matching `*-analysis.md` in the analysis folder, sorted by date/name desce
