CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is a proven effective treatment for Depression and Anxiety. It is used by the NHS, American Psychiatric Association, Australian Department for Health and many others to treat depression and anxiety disorders such as: OCD, generalised anxiety, health anxiety, panic disorder, social phobia and specific phobias (like arachnophobia, fear of heights, etc.).

It is cheaper and more effective than medication alone for conditions such as low mood and now for less than the cost of a music album or a computer game. This app is a user-friendly companion to CBT, this can be used to make talking therapy more helpful and to support those undertaking self-help.

Pocket CBT was designed by a fully accredited Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapist so you can be assured that this application complements any therapy you might receive or appropriate self-help CBT you choose to undertake.

The application is divided into two segments that are central to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Record and Challenge

Thought Record:
First you record The Situation, Thoughts, Sensations, Emotions, Behaviour involved. This is known as functional analysis; this is key to understanding what vicious cycles are maintaining the problem you are experiencing (this is sometimes called the cross-sectional formulation). Writing this down has historically been quite complex to get to grips with. Now with Pocket CBT it is simple for you to proceed through a series of questions to allow you to gain an objective view of the situation and understand what is driving your thinking. Better still, you can view this in a diagram and even email it.

Thought Challenge:
The second section allows you to challenge your thinking. Drawing from the most commonly identified thinking styles (schemas) of CBT. You are guided through a series of questions to allow you the opportunity to re-appraise the ‘hot thought’ (the key negative automatic thought). This is done by writing your responses to key questions that guide you to your conclusion. You can continue to challenge the key thought and re-rate your beliefs and consequent emotional state. Since this application works like a diary, you can look back at the summaries of your challenges to these typical thoughts that affect your mood. Moving from reactive to proactive.

Features:
- Record and Challenge your negative thoughts
- View a diary of Thought records & Challenges
- Email your Thought Record as a PDF
- All challenge types fully explained
- Easy to navigate menus
- Clear and simple questions to understand complex situations
