Before you panic: I'm not saying replace real therapy for serious issues.

ChatGPT changed everything.

The 3AM Anxiety Killer
"I'm spiraling about [situation]. My thoughts: [dump everything]. Help me separate real problems from anxiety-created ones. Give me 3 actions for tomorrow and one thing to do right now to calm down."

No more 3AM doom scrolling. Immediate relief.

The Emotional Pattern Spotter
"These situations made me angry this week: [list them]. What's the real trigger pattern? What am I actually upset about? Give me the harsh truth I need to hear."

Found out I wasn't angry at traffic. I was angry at lack of control.

The Decision Paralysis Breaker
"I can't decide: [option A] vs [option B]. I'm overthinking because [fear]. Ask me 3 clarifying questions, then tell me what to choose based on my values: [list values]."

Ended 2-week apartment hunt agony in 5 minutes.

The Inner Critic Translator
"My inner dialogue today: [paste the mean thoughts]. Rewrite each thought as if my best friend was saying it to me. Then explain what my brain is actually trying to protect me from."

Turns out my inner critic is a scared protector. Changes everything.

Morning Check-In (2 minutes)
"Mental state: [1-10]. Energy: [1-10]. Anxiety about: [list]. Design my day to handle this emotional state. Include one thing to look forward to."

Start day intentionally, not reactively.

Lunch Reset (1 minute)
"Morning was [describe]. Energy now: [level]. Afternoon has [challenges]. Give me a 60-second mental reset exercise and one mindset shift."

Prevents afternoon spirals.

Evening Debrief (3 minutes)
"Today's wins: [list]. Struggles: [list]. Tomorrow's worries: [list]. Help me close these mental loops so I can actually sleep."

Finally sleeping through the night.

The Trauma Pattern Mapper
"These situations trigger me: [list]. My typical reaction: [describe]. This probably connects to [past experience]. Help me understand the pattern without retraumatizing myself."

Not therapy. But helps between sessions.

The Boundary Script Writer
"I need to set a boundary with [person] about [issue]. I'm scared because [fear]. Write what to say that's firm but kind. Include how to handle their likely reaction."

Finally said no to my mother. Relationship improved.

The Shame Dissolver
"I'm ashamed about [situation]. The story I tell myself: [narrative]. Help me reframe this with self-compassion while taking appropriate responsibility."

Stopped carrying 10-year-old shame. Literally felt lighter.

The Social Anxiety Navigator
"Event: [describe]. My fears: [list]. Create a survival plan: arrival strategy, conversation starters, graceful exits, and one mindset shift."

Actually enjoyed my office party. First time ever.
