# Whiteboard

> Draw with your client during a session — a CBT triangle, a polyvagal ladder, a thought record, or a blank canvas you both work on.

The whiteboard is the canvas you reach for when talking through the diagram
isn't enough — when the client needs to see their thoughts mapped out, or watch
the window of tolerance widen as you draw it, or move sticky notes around until
the formulation clicks.

It opens from the Share Screen button in a session. Your client sees it in the
same place they'd see a shared screen, so the experience is familiar from
day one. When you want them to draw too, you flip Two-way ON and they can
annotate without needing an account or an app.
