Keep what came up in therapy with you
A few research-informed reminders during the week bring it back, help you put it into practice and get you ready for your next session.

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.
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.
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.
