Smarter Thinking vs Saner

The Smarter Thinking App is a convenient but powerful tool to help people manage their thoughts and emotions. Using the App, you can learn to recognise and challenge thoughts and ideas that lead to unwanted emotions and limit your potential, and then develop and strengthen more helpful thoughts and ideas. The Smarter Thinking App has been developed by expert psychologists with experience working within sport, exercise, health, business, and military settings. The App can be used by anybody independently, but is particularly useful for practitioners working with clients using a CBT approach.

Change how you think. Change how you feel. Saner guides you through Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) — one of the most evidence-based approaches in cognitive psychology. At its core is a simple insight: your feelings don't come from events. They come from the beliefs you hold about those events. Saner helps you find those beliefs, challenge them, and replace them with healthier ones. THE ABCDE METHOD Work through a structured five-step exercise whenever difficult emotions arise: • A — Identify the activating event • B — Uncover the belief driving your reaction • C — Recognise the emotional consequences • D — Dispute the irrational belief with logic, evidence, and pragmatism • E — Build a new, effective rational belief TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Your journal captures every session. See patterns in your thinking over time — which belief types come up most, how your emotional intensity shifts, and how many consecutive days you've practised. LEARN REBT Built-in articles explain the foundations of REBT, the four core irrational belief types, and how to apply the model in real life.
