How It Works
Get started in three simple steps
Write Your Worry
Type or speak the anxious thought that's weighing on you. Getting it out of your head and into words is the first step of cognitive defusion.
Choose Your Mode
Select how you want to release it: crumple it into a ball, watch it burn, shred it to pieces, dissolve it in water, launch it into space, or bury it in the earth.
Destroy & Release
Use gestures to physically destroy the thought. Feel the haptic feedback as your worry transforms. The embodied action creates a powerful psychological release.
Key Highlights
What makes Thought Alchemy special
The Science
Cognitive Defusion & Embodied Cognition
Thought Alchemy combines two evidence-based principles. Cognitive defusion (Hayes et al., 1999) from ACT therapy creates distance between you and your thoughts. Embodied cognition research shows that physical actions influence psychological states — a study by Briñol et al. (2013) found that physically discarding written thoughts reduced their influence on behavior.
