Identifying Unhelpful Thoughts
- Black and White Thinking: There are heaping piles of nuance to most things.

Challenge Unhelpful Thoughts
Listen to your thoughts — but don’t necessarily believe them.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
