You already know you're in the loop.
Knowing isn't enough.

You feel something physical. Your brain fires the alarm. You reassure yourself — "I'm fine, I'm not dying" — and your brain immediately replies: "But what if you are?"

That's not a logic problem. That's a loop. And trying to think your way out of it is like trying to put out a fire with more fire.

CBT and ACT don't fight the loop. They dismantle it. Stop The Loop delivers both — dynamically, guided by AI, in the moment you actually need it.

The loop runs on autopilot — until you break the pattern

😰 Physical sensation
💭 "What if I'm dying?"
😱 Panic & worse symptoms
🔄 Reassurance loop

Everything your anxiety needs you to have

Six tools. One mission. Get you out of the loop.
🚨

Emergency Spiral Mode

Mid-spiral right now? Hit the emergency button. Our AI asks what's happening in real time and walks you through a personalised loop-breaking session. Not a generic breathing exercise. A live guided session built around your specific spiral.

🧠

AI-Guided CBT Sessions

Dynamic conversations that identify your automatic thoughts, challenge your cognitive distortions, and teach your brain a different response. Powered by Claude AI. Personalised to your patterns, not a one-size-fits-all script.

🎯

ACT Defusion Techniques

Stop fighting your thoughts. ACT teaches you to unhook from them. "I'm having the thought that I might be dying" — that tiny shift creates distance. The bully loses its power the moment you stop running.

📈

Mood Timeline

Log how you feel and watch your patterns emerge. See your triggers, your peaks, your spirals over time. Self-knowledge is part of the rewire. When you can see the loop from above, it loses its grip.

🎮

Mind Games

Sometimes the fastest way out of a spiral is to hijack your prefrontal cortex with a task. Our mind games are scientifically designed to redirect focus and interrupt the anxiety circuit. Distraction with purpose.

🔊

Frequency Therapy

A 10-second neural reset. 174Hz for pain and anxiety reduction. 396Hz to release fear patterns. 528Hz for stress relief. Not a meditation track. A short sharp blast of frequency to interrupt the nervous system spiral.

Proper CBT and ACT — not generic wellness content

Built on the same evidence base used by therapists. Delivered dynamically by AI in a format your brain can actually use mid-spiral.
CBT 01

Thought Records

Identify the automatic thought, the emotion it triggers, and the cognitive distortion driving it. Catastrophising, health anxiety, black-and-white thinking — name it and it loses power.

CBT 02

Cognitive Restructuring

Challenge the distorted thought with evidence. What actually supports it? What contradicts it? Build a balanced response your nervous system can accept.

ACT 01

Cognitive Defusion

"I am having the thought that..." — creating distance from the thought rather than being inside it. The thought is just a thought, not a fact, not a command.

ACT 02

Acceptance & Willingness

Stop fighting the feeling. Let it be there. Anxiety feeds on the effort to escape it. When you stop running and face it — like calling a bully's bluff — it has nothing.

ACT 03

Values Anchoring

Bring it back to what matters. For many people that's their kids, their work, their purpose. The anxiety is loud but it's not the loudest thing in your life.

ACT 04

Committed Action

Move forward anyway. You don't need to feel calm to act. Anxiety loses when you do the thing regardless. Momentum is the antidote to the spiral.

When you can't think straight, we think for you.

The worst thing about being mid-spiral is that the tools you need feel completely out of reach. That's not a character flaw. That's how anxiety works — it hijacks your prefrontal cortex.

Emergency mode removes every barrier. One tap. Tell us what's happening. We walk you out of it step by step — with the exact technique your situation needs, not a generic script.

This is the feature that doesn't exist anywhere else. Not a chatbot. Not a static exercise. A live AI session built around your spiral, right now.

Emergency Spiral Mode — Active
I'm here. Tell me what's happening right now — what are you feeling in your body?
Heart racing, neck tight, convinced something is wrong. Keep thinking about my kids.
That's the loop activating — your body triggered the alarm and your brain went straight to the worst case. That's not reality, that's the pattern. Let's break it. Say this out loud: "I am having the thought that something is wrong."
I am having the thought that something is wrong.
Good. Notice the difference — you're not saying it IS wrong. You're watching the thought. Now tell the thought: go on then. Do it. And watch what happens.

Common questions

What is CBT and how does it help anxiety?

+

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the gold standard evidence-based treatment for anxiety. It works by identifying automatic negative thoughts, challenging cognitive distortions like catastrophising and health anxiety, and changing your behavioural response. Stop The Loop delivers CBT dynamically through AI sessions personalised to your specific pattern — not a generic workbook.

What is ACT and how is it different from CBT?

+

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches you to unhook from anxious thoughts rather than fight them. CBT challenges the thought. ACT steps back from it. Both work — and they complement each other. Stop The Loop uses both, choosing the right approach for your situation in real time.

Is this a replacement for professional therapy?

+

No. Stop The Loop is a powerful self-guided tool built on evidence-based techniques, but it is not a replacement for professional mental health care. If you are experiencing severe anxiety, depression, or any mental health crisis, please speak to your GP or a qualified therapist. Stop The Loop is best used as a daily practice tool and in-the-moment support.

What is emergency spiral mode?

+

Emergency spiral mode is the core feature that makes Stop The Loop different from everything else. When you are mid-spiral, tap the emergency button and the AI guides you through a live personalised session — asking what is happening right now and walking you through the exact technique suited to your situation. Not a script. A real dynamic session.

What are the frequency tones?

+

Stop The Loop includes a frequency therapy tool using specific audio frequencies associated with nervous system regulation. 174Hz is linked to pain and anxiety reduction. 396Hz targets fear patterns. 528Hz for stress relief. These are short focused blasts — a 10-second neural interrupt — not a long meditation track. Think of it as a circuit breaker for your nervous system.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

+

Yes. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time with no penalty — you keep access until the end of your billing period. Annual plans can also be cancelled at any time. We don't make cancellation difficult.
