What people search for
Searches around Tree Test (Baum) often ask for interpretation, meaning, scoring, examples, and whether one drawing detail reveals a psychological truth.
InnerCanvas answers that curiosity by starting with observable details such as trunk, crown, branches, roots, and ground, scale and placement on the page, line continuity and repeated details rather than fixed symbol meanings.
Where the limits are
Tree drawing and Baum test interpretations are culturally and methodologically varied, so InnerCanvas treats them as starting points for reflection rather than proof. It also does not replace therapy, assessment, crisis support, or advice from a qualified professional.
The safe use is adult self-reflection: notice what is visible, compare it with your own intended meaning, and treat any generated reflection as a question rather than a conclusion.
How to use the sample report
The matching Tree Test (Baum) sample report shows how InnerCanvas separates visible observations, cautious reflections, questions, limitations, and sources.
Use it as a format example, not as a universal key for interpreting every drawing.
