Thinking of Adding a new tool or two
One is for addressing specific thoughts. This would be a two window tool, like the Event Log. The upper window would be used to capture the thought and how it impacts you. The bottom window would be used for counter thoughts. If you read Dr. Burns' book "Feeling Good," then think of these as hot/cool thoughts, or TIC/TOCs. There's another tool I'm contemplating, which would be my first 3 window tool. That sounds like a bit much for a phone display. The top window would be used to identify a thought that is of particular concern. The middle window would capture a simple plan to challenge that thought. The bottom window would be a status window, capturing how you are doing to the plan. I need to think about this a bit more.
