CBT Journaling Prompts That Help

[GianCann 0]

I have tried journaling many times but never know what to write. Some apps provide prompts but they are usually generic like what are you grateful for today. I need specific Cognitive Behavioral Therapy style questions that challenge my distorted thoughts. Where can I find really good prompts that actually help?

Generic prompts like what are you grateful for today make me want to scream. The liven app asks specific Cognitive Behavioral Therapy questions. What was the exact thought that appeared before you felt that way? Which cognitive distortion is present? What evidence do you have against that thought? Those are real clinical questions. Not fluff. Before finding this, liven reviews from other journaling failures showed me where to get good prompts. The app generates them based on your mood entries. No generic recycled garbage. If you want just the prompts without the app, screenshot them and use anywhere. I did that for a while. Still use the app though because the flow works.
