A guided framework for exploring and untangling anxious thought loops — powered by Claude.
Clearhead is not a coding project. It's a personal anxiety management tool built around guided conversations with an AI that acts as a calm, curious, non-judgmental guide using Socratic questioning.
Start a conversation by sharing a fear, worry, or anxious thought. Clearhead walks you through a structured but natural exploration:
- Surface — Name the worry and rate its intensity (0–10)
- Concretize — Get specific about what you're actually afraid of
- Downward Arrow — Trace the worry to its core belief
- Reality Test — Examine the evidence and gain perspective
- The Fork — Identify an action step or practice letting go
- Reflection — Notice what shifted, compare intensity, and save the session
Sessions are saved as markdown files in sessions/ for future review and pattern tracking.
Open this project in Claude Code and start talking. That's it.
- Full session: Share what's bothering you and follow the guided flow
- Quick check-in: Ask for a check-in and rate how you're feeling
- Review patterns: Ask to look at past sessions to spot recurring themes
- Learn a technique: Ask about breathing exercises, defusion, worry postponement, etc.
