How do I stop negative self-talk?
Many approaches start with noticing the thought, naming it as a thought and setting it down rather than arguing with it. Uncloud turns that into a small visual exercise. If negative thoughts are constant or heavy, please talk to a professional.
How does Uncloud help with negative self-talk?
Negative phrases float across the screen, and when you move your cursor or finger they move aside to reveal a positive message. Many people find it a gentle way to practise noticing a harsh thought and setting it down. The phrases include some harsh words, so skip it if you are feeling fragile.
Is Uncloud therapy?
No. It is a self-care tool, not therapy or medical advice. It does not replace a therapist or counsellor. If you are struggling, please talk to a professional or someone you trust.
How often should I use it?
Whenever you want a short pause, for example in the morning or before something stressful. A few minutes is plenty. There is no daily schedule or streak to keep up.
How many messages are there?
35 kind messages, each shown with a fresh shuffle of the negative phrases.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Drag your finger on the screen. On a computer, just move the mouse.
Is it suitable for teenagers?
It can be, with an adult’s judgment: some of the floating phrases are harsh on purpose, because they are the kind of things an inner critic says.
Is anything recorded?
No. There is nothing to type and nothing is saved about you.
