## Description

OpenStep is a self-guided therapeutic app for people living with OCD. Built on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
                                                                                                                                                                                    
22-Step Exposure Ladder                                                                                                                                                         
Your recovery starts where you are. A graduated system takes you from standing at your door to riding public transport and visiting a cinema — at your own pace. Each step includes instructions, duration guidance, and encouragement.
   
AI-Powered Cognitive Reframing                                                                                                                                                    
Anxiety lies. OpenStep uses AI to identify cognitive distortions like catastrophizing, fortune telling, and all-or-nothing thinking. Catch the patterns your mind uses to keep you stuck - a core skill in CBT for OCD.                                                                                                                                     
   
Daily Affirmations                                                                                                                                                                
7 categories crafted for the unique challenges of agoraphobia — brave days, setback days, being far from home, navigating crowds, and more.
   
Structured Practice Sessions                                                                                                                                                      
Every practice follows a 5-phase model: Plan → Stay → Notice → Return → Reflect. Track anxiety before and after, record what your mind predicted versus what actually happened, and watch evidence of your progress grow.                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                  
Growth Journal                                                                                                                                                                    
Capture reflections, track anxiety patterns, and build a personal record of recovery.
                                                                                                                                                                                    
Daily Check-Ins
