About
This is a simple and effective tool for managing overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
It helps you walk through four steps:
- Identifying what you're feeling

This process helps you reduce emotional intensity, gain clarity, and respond more thoughtfully when you're overthinking or feeling emotionally stuck.
