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, but well put together CBT exercise. Has been very helpful rewriting and analyzing my anxious thoughts.

Great app to use and helps you to focus on a problem and challenge your thinking. Easy to use and free as well. No Ads
★★★★★Ailyn Ray· Jul 23, 2023
Simple to use and cute design. Has been really helpful for guiding me to think about the lies I tell myself and challenging them. Not overly complicated so easy to use even when I'm not thinking straight. And I can process it by writing it down, and I can then show it to my husband, which also helps him understand my thought process better. Plus no ads! Highly recommend to anyone dealing with thought distortions.

I can't use it, to start I require a passcode to enter which I've not set up. Re-installed it and still the same. Can anyone help?
