Un-Distort
I'm Erik Lee, a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Celium Healthcare. This app is for uncovering cognitive distortions in your thinking and rewriting them. With practice, you may get more comfortable noticing these patterns. There is no deadline for feeling better.
This app is an educational aid, not treatment, and it does not replace a clinician. If the check-in is too hard to start, that is a reason to talk with a person, not a reason to push harder alone.
If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
How to use
Open this whenever a feeling hits hard. Do the five-step check-in with focused intention, as often as the feeling shows up or persists. The first times can feel awkward and take 10–15 minutes. With practice, it gets shorter.
Larger taps
Bigger buttons, more space, and a large Speak button. Helpful with tremor, stiff joints, or a smaller screen.
