Description

FreeCBT is an open source thought diary for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the "gold standard" of psychotherapy and is widely considered to be one of the most effective, evidence backed treatments for depression, anxiety, and panic. If you go into just about any therapist or psychiatrist, CBT will likely be one of the first treatments they try.

FreeCBT is a companion and self-help app for one of the most common formats of CBT. You may have heard it called "the three column technique" or "catch it, check it, change it." Your brain is really good at making you feel exactly what you're thinking. Often, we find ourselves thinking "automatic negative thoughts" that lead us to fume on something that may not be true. That can cause us to feel depressed or anxious.

CBT helps you record "automatic thoughts," challenge them with cognitive distortions and then train your brain with an alternative thought. If you do it enough, you can change your thoughts, your moods and your behavior.

FreeCBT, a fork of Quirk, is open source under the GPL. You can find the code on Github at: https://github.com/erosson/freecbt

Simple & effective tool

This app is very simple, free & effective. There’s no risk in giving it a try & I think you’ll agree with me once you do. I have been using this app periodically for about a year now & it’s been helpful many times.

Easy to use and perfect for CBT

This app is set out in a nice simple manner, it is easy to use and has all the distortive thinking that you can select. I like how it shows the alternative thought in the main tabs

Great

Does the job so simply, this app is amazing. It doesn’t over complicate to justify the need for a subscription, it just does what it says on the tin. Thank you for making this, it has helped me a lot.
