Practices that may help

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Made Practical
   Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach built on a simple idea: thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, so changing what you think and do changes how you feel. CBT is among the most empirically supported psychotherapies for anxiety and depression across many randomized trials and meta-analyses. The skills below can be practiced on their own, though CBT for a diagnosed condition belongs with a qualified clinician.
2. Behavioral Chain Analysis: The DBT Method for Understanding Problem Behaviors
   Behavioral chain analysis (BCA), a core DBT skill developed by Marsha Linehan, maps every link in the chain of events — from the original vulnerability through the triggering event, thoughts, feelings, and actions — that led to a problem behavior. By making the chain visible, BCA reveals multiple points where the sequence could have been broken, turning a post-hoc autopsy into a concrete prevention plan.
3. Behavioral Experiments: Testing Beliefs in the Real World
   Behavioral experiments are planned real-world activities in CBT that directly test the accuracy of a negative belief or prediction. Instead of just challenging thoughts on paper, the person collects live evidence for or against the belief — and that experiential evidence is often more belief-changing than logical argument alone. They are a core and well-supported component of CBT for anxiety, depression, and related difficulties.
4. Cognitive Restructuring: The CBT Method for Changing Unhelpful Thoughts
   Cognitive restructuring, the core skill in Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, teaches you to identify automatic negative thoughts, examine the evidence for and against them, and replace distorted thinking with more accurate interpretations. Meta-analyses of CBT consistently show medium-to-large effects on depression and anxiety — the evidence base is among the strongest in psychotherapy.
5. The COM-B Model and Behavior Change Wheel
   COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior) is a diagnostic framework developed by Michie and colleagues that maps the three conditions any behavior requires: you must be able to do it, have the opportunity to do it, and want to do it. Research supporting COM-B as a systematic intervention framework is largely expert-consensus and observational rather than RCT; its main value is stopping you from applying the wrong lever.
6. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Made Practical
   MBCT is an 8-week group program developed by Segal, Williams, and Teasdale that combines mindfulness meditation with cognitive therapy techniques to prevent depressive relapse. Multiple independent meta-analyses find it significantly reduces relapse risk in people with three or more prior depressive episodes — the evidence base is among the strongest for any mindfulness-based intervention.
7. Thought records
   A structured worksheet that captures situation, thought, emotion, evidence, and a balanced response.

8. The Coping Card
   A coping card is a physical or digital card carrying your pre-prepared rational responses to your most common distorted thoughts or crisis triggers — written in advance, when you are calm, so they are available when you are not. Coping cards are a standard CBT tool with strong clinical consensus; they work because working memory and rational access are impaired under stress, and a card externalizes the reasoning that would otherwise be unavailable.
9. CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), Made Practical
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a multi-component behavioral program that addresses the habits, thoughts, and patterns that perpetuate chronic insomnia. Multiple meta-analyses show it outperforms sleep medication for long-term outcomes and produces lasting improvement. It is the first-line recommended treatment for chronic insomnia — though it is more demanding than a pill and works best with a qualified therapist or guided program.
10. Behavioral experiments
    Test a belief by doing something and observing what actually happens.
