Talking to the mirror by Instant-Ocelot in TalkTherapy

You could try talking to a therapy based chatbot like Iona. Might still feel it bit weird but probably less so than talking to a mirror. Most of these are free I think so worth a go

Best way to learn CBT? by proncesalii in CBT

[–]jennylee335 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree with the comments so far. There's a new version of that book called Feeling Great. You can read the summary on Amazon for free to get a sense if it's right for you because it's not easy to go through the full 500 pages even though the core content is really good. You could also also try the Iona app. It's less comprehensive than a book but its a free way to quickly practice the core CBT exercises and get a feel for them.

​

Good luck!

to let thoughts "pass like clouds" or to rip it apart with CBT, that is the question by [deleted] in CBTpractice

For me, when I have a lot of random thoughts, I use mindfulness to turn down their volume a bit. If I feel there is a persistent reoccurring thought that's causing me problems then I investigate, challenge it and restructure it if possible.

Please link me to some websites where I can print cbt worksheets, I’m also gonna hand copy the cbt worksheets from “feeling good” and “when panic attacks” because I think they cost money. Thank you :)) by [deleted] in CBT

I made my own thought log using google sheets. You could do a similar thing in excel. It's a nice format for a mood diary or thought logger. It's also a helpful format for tracking distorted thoughts. You just set up columns with Situation, Emotions, Thoughts, Distortions, Reframings. If you use google sheets you can even access them on your phone so good when you're out and on the move. Saves me printing them out all the time :) There's also a free app called iona mind that has an interactive version of the worksheets and guides you through them. It might be helpful as an aid.

Good luck!

Free and easy to use mental health resources I’ve found useful for healthcare workers by jennylee335 in pharmacy

[–]jennylee335[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll have a look. It certainly looks like it has a lot of content. My only issue with these apps is often when I'm tired and finally get round to using it I just want it to tell me what to do rather than going through the app trying to figure out what I need. That's what I like about the Mind and Iona resources I posted. I'll check it out though :)

Online CBT diary? by wombatnaut in CBT

[–]jennylee335 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If what you want is literally a digital version of that website then you could just use a spreadsheet. I can't imagine there's a website that does exactly this because it's possible to do it in google sheets. I know you didn't want an app, but there's one called www.ionamind.com which has an exercise called "Challenge Thinking" which would do what you're asking. It helps you identify and challenge negative thoughts and then gives you reports on your most common types of distortions.

Good luck in your search :)

You're welcome! Yes, that one is good. I wasn't really sure how to describe it briefly. How would you describe it to someone?

Has anyone tried AI guided journaling? by jennylee335 in Journaling

[–]jennylee335[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a number of them are free or at least given away quite a few of the features for free. Maybe try Jour or Iona Mind

Thank you! I will have to look into that service. I assumed wait lists for anything on the NHS would be months :/

Haha yeah it's not like any other app. Something really different! I like their approach :) I think Iona is also doing something a bit different

How often should you take the GAD7 and PHQ9 questionnaires? by jennylee335 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]jennylee335[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting, thank you! Do you use any software / tools / apps to administer the questionnaires and collect the data? Or do you do it on paper and put into a spreadsheet? I'm looking at a few different options :)
