**Four ways to capture.** Pick whichever fits the moment:

- **Thought record** — the full Mind Over Mood walk: situation, multi-thought + multi-mood capture, body-sensation tagging, distortion check, evidence for/against, Socratic prompt, balanced reframe, behavioral pivot, then a re-rate after both reframe and pivot. The shift in mood intensity + belief % is the work showing up.
- **Thought record** — built on the Mind Over Mood 7-column thought record (Greenberger & Padesky), with a distortion check from Burns and Beck, a guided Socratic question you answer, a follow-up action, and mood re-ratings after the reframe and after you act. Captures situation, multiple thoughts and moods, body sensations, evidence for/against, and a balanced reframe in your own words. The shift in mood intensity + belief % is the work showing up.
- **Free write** — open page, no structure. For moments without a clear thought to challenge. Optional title + optional mood tag.
- **Plan activity** — behavioral activation: pick something concrete (a category + a datetime), predict pleasure + mastery on a 0–10 scale, then come back after to log actual values. The gap between predicted and actual is the lesson.
- **Park a worry** — worry postponement (Borkovec): write the worry, set urgency, schedule it for your worry-window time. A calm banner surfaces in-window with three resolutions: dissolved on its own, work it through (escalates to a thought record), or postpone again.
- **Plan activity** — behavioral activation: pick something concrete (a category + a datetime), predict pleasure + mastery on a 0–10 scale (Beck's activity scheduling), then come back after to log actual values. Comparing the two can show that low mood underestimates how things go; doing the activity is what matters most.
- **Park a worry** — worry postponement (Borkovec): write the worry, set urgency, schedule it for your worry-window time. A calm banner surfaces in-window with three resolutions: dissolved on its own, work it through or make a plan (opens a thought record, which ends in one concrete step), or postpone again. After two postponements the worry suggests working it through instead.

The "Patterns" tab surfaces recurring distortions, the average mood intensity drop across re-rated entries, the activity categories that lift the mood most, the % of worries that dissolved without action, and a 30-day activity heatmap. The "Reference" tab is an in-app primer plus a crisis-resources block.

Three deliberate concessions to make the tool helpful rather than harmful:

- **"These thoughts feel accurate" tile** on Step 4 — opts out of the
distortion frame entirely. Grief, valid anger, accurate self-criticism
are real; the rest of the entry holds them rather than arguing.
- **Grounding gate at intensity ≥80** — surfaces a 5-4-3-2-1 prompt before
Step 3 and inside quick-capture, because cognitive work tends to land
better after the body has settled.
- **"The facts seem to back these thoughts up" tile** on Step 3 — opts out
of the distortion frame. Grief, real anger and an honest look at a real
mistake don't need arguing away; the evidence step still follows, since
distorted thoughts can feel true too.
- **Grounding gate at intensity ≥80** (the Severe band) — surfaces a
5-4-3-2-1 prompt at the top of Step 4 and inside quick-capture, because
cognitive work tends to land better after the body has settled.
- **"Just venting" checkbox** in quick-capture — sometimes naming what's
there *is* the intervention; no obligation to finish a 7-step entry
later.
