Write down what came up
After your session we send you a reminder to log your therapy notes. If you’re struggling with what to write, we have a template you can refer to that helps structure your notes.
Improve your therapy outcomes

Automatic reminders

How does it work?
A simple three-step process
Revisit it during the week
During the week you’ll receive notifications to review what came up during your session. Think about if anything you spoke about has come up during your week.
Prepare for your next session
Review your previous notes, reflect on the week, and arrive ready to discuss your progress and what you’re still struggling with.
What makes this different from a note taking app?
Note-taking apps store your notes until you decide to review them. Plastic Brains reminds you to review your therapy notes at research-informed intervals.
During therapy, you identify the patterns causing problems in your life, explore what triggers those feelings, and think about healthier ways to react. Understanding those patterns alone does not change them. Consistent reflection on what causes these triggers and where they come from can help you respond differently over time.
Each time you recall and practise a new response, you strengthen the neural pathways behind it. Repeated practice builds stronger pathways, making it easier to interrupt old reactions and respond differently when you face the same situations again. This process turns what you learn during therapy into real change in your daily life.
At the moment, time-wise, I can only afford a session once every two weeks. When I get to that session, it takes me about 20 minutes to remember everything that’s gone on and what we spoke about weeks before. I love that I can look over my notes from previous sessions and see what we were talking about and which aspects have improved.

As a therapist who has my own therapist, I wouldn’t have thought I would benefit from something like this. But with such a high caseload, it really helps me feel ready for my own therapy sessions.
Catherine
CBT therapist
My therapist is always telling me to reflect on what we spoke about during the week, but I always ‘forget’. I like the app because I don’t have to remember to look back at my Apple Notes. I get reminders during the week and feel like I’m making more progress than before.
