Relief vs CBT Thought Journal & Reframe

Relief is a private, CBT-based companion for untangling anxious, stressful, and self-critical thoughts - and seeing them more clearly. When a thought is spinning you out, Relief walks you through the step-by-step reframing process used in cognitive behavioral therapy: • Capture the automatic thought and rate how distressing it feels • Spot the cognitive distortion behind it (catastrophizing, all-or-nothing thinking, mind-reading, and more) • Weigh the evidence for and against it • Write a balanced, kinder reframe • Rate your distress again, and see what actually changed Over time, Relief turns your reframes into gentle insight: which thinking traps show up most, in which parts of your life, and how your entries change - so you're not only working through today's thought, you're learning how your own mind works.

Your mind runs ahead. The what-if. The worst case. The thought that loops at 2am and won't let go. This is a CBT thought journal built to help you catch those thoughts — and reframe them. Anxiety, worry, and overthinking often start with a single distorted thought: "something's wrong," "I've messed up," "it'll all fall apart." Left alone, it spirals. Written down and gently questioned, it loosens. Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), it walks you through it, step by step: Catch the anxious or spiraling thought See what it's really saying — and why it feels true Notice the distortion (catastrophizing, mind-reading, all-or-nothing) Reframe it into something truer, and kinder Watch how your thoughts and mood shift over time No jargon. No lectures. Just a calm, guided space to think more clearly when your mind won't slow down. Whether it's 2am worry, a spiral before a big day, or the same thought on repeat — a few minutes of reframing can change how the whole thing feels. — This app is a self-help tool, not a substitute for therapy or medical care.
