Guides to land with
Short psychoeducation on anxiety, techniques, and patterns — plus how Anto works. Not a substitute for professional care.
Educational guides on anxiety, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), looping thoughts, the clinical map of cognitive distortions (levels, clusters, behavioural experiments), grounding, sleep, depression, emotional regulation, burnout, and clinical scales such as PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Free to read. Complements — does not replace — human therapy.
Guides
- When anxiety risesWhen the body reacts as if danger were immediate, first you need to land; thinking can come after.Read
- PHQ-9 and GAD-7: what they measure and how to read themTwo screening scales about the last two weeks. They help you see whether it rises, falls, or holds — not to give yourself a diagnosis.Read
- Cognitive distortionsThose mental shortcuts that turn a silence into a verdict. Naming them helps you not believe them instantly — without forcing yourself to “think positive.”Read
