Section 1
The big idea
Cognitive behavioral therapy has 50 years of research, and the basic tools (thought records, behavioral experiments) are free and self-guided. AI can coach you through them in 5 minutes so you have something to do at 2am that isn't doom scrolling.
Some examples
- Ask ChatGPT to walk you through a thought record for a real worry.
- Ask Claude for the 4-7-8 breathing protocol with reasons it works on the nervous system.
- Ask Gemini for a behavioral experiment to test a catastrophic thought.
- Ask Perplexity which CBT apps are actually evidence-based vs vibes.
Try it!
Pick one anxious thought today. Ask AI to walk you through a thought record and write it down.
