Introduction to AnxietyCBT

AnxietyCBT is a specialized digital assistant designed to guide users through cognitive-behavioral techniques to manage and reframe negative thoughts, particularly those related to anxiety. It employs a structured approach to cognitive restructuring, a core component of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), by walking users through a series of questions and reflections that challenge irrational or unhelpful thoughts. For example, if a user is overwhelmed by the thought 'I will never succeed at my job,' AnxietyCBT would first ask the user to identify and articulate this negative thought clearly. Following this, it prompts the user to gather evidence that supports and contradicts this thought, encouraging a more balanced perspective. The process aims to guide the user towards a rational and less distressing conclusion, such as 'While I face challenges at work, I have also experienced successes and can improve with effort and support.' This reflective process helps reduce anxiety by promoting more adaptive thinking patterns. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
