Calm Journal is a science-backed CBT journaling app that helps you
identify and reframe negative thinking patterns — in just 5 minutes a day.
#WHAT IS CBT?#
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most evidence-based approach for
managing anxiety, stress, low mood, and overthinking. At its core, CBT teaches
you to notice automatic thoughts, spot cognitive distortions, and replace them
with more balanced perspectives.
Calm Journal guides you through this process with a simple, 5-step flow:
1. EVENT — Describe what happened and rate your distress
2. THOUGHT — Write the automatic thought that came up
3. PATTERN — Identify which cognitive distortion it matches
4. REFRAME — Write a more balanced, compassionate version
5. EMOTION — Check in with how you feel after reflecting
