ReachOut Worry Time helps you set aside a short window of time for your worrying. When a worrying thought pops up, record it on the app, then go back to your day knowing you can return to it later. This is also a helpful way to track what you’re worrying about, so you can notice patterns and try to address recurring themes. And chances are, by the time your worry session does come around, it won’t seem so worrying after all.
