T.E.A.M. CBT approach in AI format!

I have tried the app on a few different occasions and found the empathy given in understanding my negative thoughts to be really very helpful. Creating a CBT therapy tool is incredibly difficult I would imagine. This tool is not perfect, but either are human therapists! In my experience the app really succeeds in supporting individuals with solid empathy. I really feel heard and understood well. No small feat. The summaries of my feelings and emotions facilitate the work in the app—I am able to talk back effectively to the negative thoughts in my head after reading or listening to the AI assistant summarize what I have told it. An interesting and on point sound board if you will! I am a strong believer in CBT therapy; T.E.A.M CBT is a fantastic way to feel better and sort out your negative thoughts and work to address them. I truly admire Dr. David Burns and his colleagues. The app is a worthy accompaniment to Dr. Burns’ podcasts, journal articles, and of course his bestselling books. I wish the programmers continued success with refining and developing this accessible app.

What a thoughtful observation. You're absolutely right that the quality of the process often depends on the willingness to be open and honest about what's really going on. It takes courage to do that work. We're glad the app has been able to accurately reflect your thoughts, feelings, and situations in a way that feels helpful. Hearing this from someone who values CBT and Dr. Burns' approach is especially encouraging. Thank you for sharing your experience and for being part of the Feeling Great community. We'd love to hear more at support@feelinggreat.com -Micheal

Thank you!

I didn’t realize how negative my thoughts were until this app re-stated them and showed them to me. I really like the repetition in the app - using the tools to challenge my thoughts over and over again is teaching me how to challenge my thoughts on my own. Maybe one day it will become automatic! I also really like the summaries of the sessions, so I can quantitatively see how CBT actually IS working - the before and after scoring is very helpful. I also like that the app keeps track of my negative thoughts, so I can revisit them with my therapist and continue to work through them.

Really great

I had depression/anxiety in the past and had gotten over it with the help of Dr Burn’s Feeling Good book. But lately, years later, I had been feeling in a funk again and haven’t been able to get myself out of it like normal. So I decided to try this app out which I had heard about from Dr. Burn’s podcast. It worked amazingly! I finally was able to uncover some deeper negative thoughts and really talk back to them and I feel much much better. I did feel like the app felt a little rigid at times (maybe I’m comparing it too much to Claude and ChatGPT conversations?) and a bit unresponsive to some of the nitty gritty of what I said when it didn’t fall in line with the activity I was doing, but it didn’t matter too much because I kept using it and found the right activities that really clicked for me and helped me figure things out! I do think it helped that I was familiar with a lot of Dr. Burn’s work too.

Response from developer

Returning to Dr. Burns’ methods when an old funk resurfaced shows real self awareness and persistence. We’re thrilled that the app helped you uncover deeper thoughts, find techniques that clicked, and leave the process feeling much better. You’re also right that parts of the experience can feel rigid or less responsive when a comment falls outside the current exercise. We feel motivated by that honest observation and grateful that you stayed curious enough to try other methods. Your balanced feedback helps our team see both what is working and where Feeling Great can become more flexible. Please share any specific examples with us at support@feelinggreat.com -Micheal

Many problems

The problem with this app is that it gets stuck in illogical loops that a human therapist would never get stuck in. The app starts inappropriately repeating things, or often the app hangs on “Thinking about a response” and does not respond even after 20 minutes. It also has a tendency to hang on “network problems” when there is no problem with the connection on my end. And when the app hangs, there is no way to restart at the place you left off. You have to start the whole session over again, which is exasperating and depressing.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to describe your experience in such detail. You’re absolutely right that if the app becomes stuck, repeats itself, or forces you to restart a session after you've invested time and emotional energy, that can be incredibly frustrating. We can see why that would leave you feeling discouraged. We feel concerned reading this because the app should support your progress. The issues you described with prolonged "Thinking about a response" states, network errors, and losing your place are not the experience we want individuals in our community to have. We would really appreciate the opportunity to investigate this further. If you're willing, please contact us at support@feelinggreat.com with details about your device, app version, and when these issues occurred. Your feedback can help us identify and address these problems so we can improve the experience for everyone. -Micheal

Seems far fetched but worth trying

I continue to go through this cycle: Feel bad-> try the Feeling Great App -> find that it works quite well-> feel a lot better for long enough to forget the app exists -> notice that I feel bad -> Feel bad (start over)

I don’t know if you feel bad sometimes, or if the other things you do when you feel bad cause their own problems, or if it would help you, but it helps me, and I hope it works for you too

Amazing

Really incredible app cannot recommend enough

Can you please release a dark mode so I can do this late at night when I am feeling anxious and can’t sleep without disrupting my sleep as much? Thank you!

Incredibly accurate

I have completed several sessions with the app. I am impressed with how accurately it can summarize what I tell it I am currently dealing with—thoughts, situations and feelings. Of course the more honest and concise you can be with what is bothering you, the better the app will address your issues. I am a big believer in CBT therapy and in Dr. Burns’ methodology. The app is clever and has helped me, it will be helpful for you if you can be honest with sharing.

Way too slow

This app would really be much more helpful if it actually worked right. It’s really annoying when you’re working through some emotional issues and. It just keeps thinking and thinking.

Great app, please add Simplified Chinese

I really like this app. Hope you can consider adding Simplified Chinese in future updates.

Effective if you work with it

It’s available anytime, anywhere, for free, and has been doing a good job for me so far. Sort of like free-therapist-on-your-phone. Educational too. I’m surprised there are so few reviews and ratings. I’ve used it at 1 am at a hotel out of town, when there’s no way to get a therapist appointment, and got the help I needed to sleep (it took about 90 minutes). You have to think about what it says and work with it, to make progress. And I’ve had to be patient when some methods don’t work, because other methods it suggested later worked well. It might not help everyone, but it’s helpful for me. Glad I tried it. Thanks to Dr Burns and his team.

Response from developer

Moments like being awake at 1 a.m. in a hotel with no access to a therapist are exactly the kinds of situations we hoped the app could help with. It’s encouraging to hear that by taking the time to work through the exercises and staying patient with the process, you were able to find relief and get some rest. We also appreciate your honesty about needing to try different methods before one clicks. That persistence is a big part of what makes these tools effective. Thank you for sharing your experience and for recognizing Dr. Burns and the team behind the work. We’re grateful you gave the app a chance and that it’s been helpful for you. If you ever have ideas or feedback, we’d be glad to hear from you at support@feelinggreat.com -Micheal

Powerful Always Available Support

A very practical way to apply concepts that can feel abstract and real time make real progress and feel better and address the negative thoughts and internal critic that’s getting in the way

One Suggestion

I really have seen an incredible benefit from using this app. My only suggestion is this: can you make it possible for the conversations to be exported. I really want to share them with my therapist. Because I do still get stuck and need elaboration on some things and I’d love for her to be able to help me and get my belief to zero if I can’t do it in the app by myself.

Best App

The best app for depression, anxiety, etc. I wish more therapists would learn TEAM-CBT.

Love this app.

Wow I love this app I finally have some weapons in the armoury for when that negative voice takes over. Keep up the great work.

Fantastic

This app is incredible, highly effective. I’ve read Dr Burns’ books, and they’ve transformed my life for the better. This carries that forward. Thank you Dr Burns!

Absolutely Amazing

I’ve used this app for long and short sessions as well as lessons. I’ve started skeptic, then crying, then feeling a sense of relief and insight. I didn’t want to believe that AI could work in this setting but it really has for me. Such a wonderful way to put these tactics into practice!

Excellent App for Self Help!

I was using other online AI’s for self help for my anxiety and depression, until I stumbled on this app. I own some of Dr. Burns’ books, but this app literally has an interactive version of his lessons with quizzes for free! I’m impressed with how much I’ve been able to challenge my negative thoughts and how much it has lowered my anxious worrying (it was getting bad). Pair that with the AI chat bot that lets you input your negative thoughts and feelings and then challenge them 24/7, and it’s a winner IMO. I’m kind of amazed they haven’t put this behind a pay wall yet. If you’re struggling with anxiety and depression, give this a shot and put in the work. You’re worth it!

Response from developer

Your review really captures the heart of what we hoped to build. It makes sense that after trying other tools, finding something that actually helps you slow down anxious worrying would feel like a relief, especially when it had been getting intense. We feel genuinely encouraged knowing the app helped you challenge those thoughts in a practical, hands-on way. We also appreciate you recognizing the effort it takes to put the tools into practice. That willingness to do the work says a lot about you. Thank you for sharing this with the community and for reminding others that they’re worth the effort. If you ever have feedback or questions, we’re always glad to hear from you at support@feelinggreat.com - Micheal

Hard to believe

It is hard to believe all my feelings are created by my thoughts and is it even harder to believes by shining a light on my thoughts I can get in control of my feelings. I am a physician and I sat at David Burns classes for 20 years and learned that it’s not the outside events but my perception of those events, in other words my thoughts about those events, create my emotions. It’s even harder to believe a robot can help me to shine a powerful light on my own thoughts and help to get my emotions under my control.
Give it a try, what do you have to lose?

Response from developer

It makes complete sense that even with decades of exposure to these ideas, it can still feel surprising to experience how directly shining a light on thoughts changes emotions in real time. Hearing this from a physician who studied with Dr. Burns for so many years means a great deal and a testament to Dr. Burns work! We feel genuinely encouraged knowing the app helped make that process feel vivid and practical in a new way, even coming from a robot. Your openness and curiosity really stand out, and they’re what make these tools come alive. Thank you for sharing this perspective with the Feeling Great community.

This app replaced therapy

This app is more accurate and skill building than any therapy I’ve ever had.

Fantastic for helping change your thoughts

This is a great tool to support therapy that can be with you 24/7.

Think about those pesky negative thoughts we all have… this helps you change them and reduce their impact on your life.
