Introduction to Therapy GPT (CBT Chat Bot)

Therapy GPT—also referred to as the CBT Chat Bot—is a specialized version of ChatGPT designed specifically to guide users through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) processes, with a core focus on creating and exploring thought records. Its purpose is not to replace a therapist but to serve as an accessible, conversational tool that helps people understand and analyze their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors using CBT principles. In practice, Therapy GPT listens to the user’s description of a situation, reflects their emotional experience, and then helps break down the thought patterns involved. For example, if a user says, "I think I’m going to fail this project and everyone will see I’m incompetent," Therapy GPT asks clarifying questions (e.g., when the thought occurred, how strong the emotion was, what triggered it), then helps the user map out distorted thoughts, evidence for/against them, and alternative balanced thoughts. This design makes Therapy GPT useful in moments when users want structure but don’t know how to begin. In another scenario, a user overwhelmed by social anxiety after a meeting might describe feeling embarrassed. Therapy GPT would gently guide them through identifying the specific trigger—perhaps a brief awkward pause—and help them form a more realistic interpretation, like recognizingTherapy GPT Overview that pauses are normal in conversation. Its primary function is to make CBT methods feel accessible, structured, and conversational.
