About

MindTracker CBT

Read full description

MindTracker helps you take control of anxiety through exposure exercises - one of the most effective methods in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Unlike apps that ask you to just breathe or journal, MindTracker helps you actually do something. You confront the situations that trigger anxiety, one step at a time, and teach your brain that anxiety always passes. How it works: • Build your anxiety ladder - a list of situations ranked from mildly to highly challenging • Plan and complete exercises at your own pace • Log anxiety levels before, during and after each exercise • Track your progress with habituation graphs showing how anxiety decreases over time Challenge your thoughts: The thought challenger guides you through identifying and questioning negative automatic thoughts - a core tool in CBT. No personal information required - sign up with just a username and password. Your data is private and never shared This app is a self-help tool and not a replacement for professional mental health care. Questions or feedback? Contact us at mindtracker.support@gmail.com
