GG OCD - Thoughts Exercise
This app aims to improve OCD symptoms, specifically negative thinking by increasing the user’s awareness of negative thoughts and training the brain to challenge them.

Liberate: My OCD Fighter is an app intended to help those who are experiencing symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The app begins by presenting the user with an assessment to measure how much their symptoms of OCD affect their daily life. The app uses tools based on principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychoeducation. These tools include a diary function with mood tracking, goal setting, tracking of compulsions and obsessions, thought challenging exercise. There is a “fear ladder” exercise, in which users expose themselves to things that may trigger their compulsions, . There is also a “panic” button which provides the user with quick tips and grounding exercises as well as emergency hotlines. Users can also enter any homework provided for them by their therapist and share weekly progress with their therapist on their progress.
