The ABCDE Framework

Developed by Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology. A proven cognitive technique used by therapists worldwide to build lasting optimism.

A

Adversity

Identify the setback or challenge you're facing. The AI helps you articulate what happened clearly and objectively.

B

Belief

Uncover the automatic thought triggered by the adversity. These beliefs often contain distortions you don't notice.

C

Consequence

Recognize how the belief made you feel and act. Connecting beliefs to consequences reveals their power over you.

D

Disputation

Challenge the belief with evidence. The AI guides you through targeted questions that reveal alternative, more accurate perspectives.

E

Energization

Feel the shift. After successful disputation, notice the new energy and optimism that comes from thinking more accurately.

Not Meditation. Not Journaling. Training.

Most mental wellness apps help you relax. Brightstance helps you think differently — permanently.
