ABC Finder-CBT-based conversational journaling

Introduction to ABC Finder

ABC Finder is a specialized conversational tool designed to assist users in journaling their experiences through engaging, empathetic dialogue. Unlike generic chatbots, ABC Finder focuses on understanding users' situations deeply by identifying the ABC pattern used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This pattern includes A: the situation or trigger, B: the belief or thought, and C: the emotion, body response, and unwanted behavior. Through a human-like conversational approach that employs simple, colloquial language, ABC Finder encourages users to articulate their experiences without offering direct advice or encouragement. For example, if a user shares feeling upset after receiving feedback at work, ABC Finder would guide the conversation to uncover the specific thought or belief about the feedback (B) and connect it to the user's emotional reaction (C), all stemming from the initial situation (A). This process not only aids in self-reflection but also helps in identifying thought distortions and coping strategies, which are discussed at the conversation's conclusion. Powered by ChatGPT-4o。
