Choosing the Best App to Support Your Mental Health

More people are turning to apps to help manage stress than ever before. How do you choose the best one? Our negative beliefs can be a significant source of stress. Our stories about life events often hold these negative thought patterns in place. If you find yourself stuck in a story, consider trying an app like Neome that uses the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify key negative beliefs in typical scenarios that may hold you back from feeling calm and confident while you achieve your daily goals.

Hypothetical scenarios in the Neome app are a powerful tool for helping you overcome negative beliefs and emotions by providing a safe and structured way to explore and reframe your thoughts and feelings.

The scenarios can guide you through challenging and reframing negative thoughts. The researchers at Neome use a unique technique called affirmative refactoring, which is a method for rewriting limiting beliefs. It combines elements of CBT with a unique way of accessing unconscious thought patterns.

Six Key Steps of Affirmative Refactoring:

1. Problem articulation

This stage involves thinking about and verbalizing the problem. You take the time to articulate the essence of the situation clearly.

2. Transforming the problem into an ideal resolution

You set a specific goal and create a perfect scenario for how you want the problem resolved.

3. Taking responsibility for solving the problem

You activate your internal locus of control and take responsibility for solving your problem.

4. Looking for an internal cause and hidden benefit

Using an analytic approach, you are guided to find the inner cause of your problem and the hidden benefit you derive from its existence.

5. Discovering the underlying belief

You are guided to discover the belief underlying the problem and articulate it clearly.

6. Working with the belief

The most essential stage involves changing the belief through a unique transformation text that combines the techniques of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and systematic desensitization. At this stage, you play the transformational text aloud. Listening to the text activates the process of forming new neural connections and weakening older connections.

This magical process underlies the transformation of limiting beliefs into positive thinking, self-confidence, and personal freedom. If you have negative beliefs that are holding you back, you can use the Neome app to transform them.
