Thoughts — Digital Therapeutic

A guided thought challenge

Make room for a
more balanced thought.

Slow down one difficult thought, look at it from a few angles, and leave with something fairer and more useful.

Your words stay with you. Nothing entered here is saved or sent anywhere.

Take your time

Notice the thought

Start with the thought as it appeared - no need to make it sound reasonable yet.

What was happening?Briefly describe the situation. What thought showed up?Write the exact words your mind used.

What emotion came with it?How intense was it?

7/10

Not intenseVery intense

Which thinking pattern might be present?Choose the closest fit. It is okay to be unsure.

Look for the whole picture

Examine the evidence

A thought can feel completely true without telling the whole story.

"Your original thought will appear here."

What facts support this thought?Stick to what a camera could record - not guesses or interpretations. What facts do not support it?Look for exceptions, past experiences, and information the thought leaves out.

How do I know this is accurate?What is another reasonable explanation?What would I say to a friend?

Focus your energy

Find your circle of control

Relief often begins with separating what is yours to influence from what is not.

Within my controlOutside my control

What is one small action you can take?Choose something specific and possible in the next day or two.

Is there a trusted person you could talk this thought through with?What kind of support would help?

Fair, not falsely positive

Build a balanced thought

Balanced does not mean pretending everything is fine. Aim for complete, fair, and believable.

Original thought

Your original thought

Try including

What is true, without exaggeration
What remains uncertain
A strength, choice, or possibility

What is a more complete and fair way to see this?Try: "I feel ___, and it is also true that ___." How intense does the emotion feel now?
