FreeCBT 2.3.2

FreeCBT is a remarkable open source thought diary designed specifically for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is widely regarded as the "gold standard" of psychotherapy. Backed by strong evidence, CBT has proven to be highly effective in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, and panic.

As one of the most commonly recommended treatments, CBT is frequently utilized by therapists and psychiatrists alike. FreeCBT serves as an invaluable companion and self-help application that aligns with the popular "three column technique" or "catch it, check it, change it" method. By understanding the impact of our thoughts on our emotions, this technique highlights the tendency to engage in negative automatic thinking, which can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety.

With the help of CBT, FreeCBT empowers users to document their automatic thoughts, challenge them using cognitive distortions, and ultimately train their brains to adopt alternative thoughts. With consistent practice, individuals can transform their thoughts, moods, and behavior for the better.

What sets FreeCBT apart is its open source nature - a derivative of Quirk - and its availability under the GPL license. For those interested in exploring the code behind this impressive tool, it can be found on Github at: https://github.com/erosson/freecbt.
