Games to check in with yourself.
Small things to reach for when the big thing feels like too much. Nothing to win.
Free, two minute games and tools from The Thought Co., a psychology practice in Mumbai. Each gives your attention somewhere to go when your head will not settle. Some hand you something back, a number, a sentence, a letter to no one. Most do not, on purpose. Nothing you type is stored.
when your head won't settle →
meter down
A short auto ride home for when you cannot stop thinking.

turn around
For when you cannot sleep and cannot say why.

The same fight, again. Find what it is actually about.

A message for someone you cannot send it to. Write it anyway.

and two that hand something back →
the anxiety test
The seven questions we ask in the room, built on the GAD-7. A number from 0 to 21, and what it does not mean. Scored on your phone, never stored.
the workplace audit
Score how your company actually supports mental health, across access, stigma, manager capability, and visibility. Five minutes. It scores the system, not people.
the small print
What are these games and tools?
Free, roughly two minute games and tools from The Thought Co., a psychology practice in Mumbai. Each gives your attention somewhere to go when your head will not settle. Nothing to win. Some hand you something back, a number, a sentence, a letter to no one. Most do not, on purpose.
Are they really free?
Yes. All of them, with nothing to sign up for and nothing to install.
Is anything I type stored?
No. Everything runs on your own phone or browser. Nothing you tap, type, or write is sent to us or anyone else.
Do these replace therapy?
No. They are for the moment, not the reason the moment keeps coming. If the same feeling keeps turning up on its own, that is worth saying out loud to someone.
Who made them?
The psychologists at The Thought Co., who run therapy for real life in India. These are the small things we reach for with clients, put into a form you can keep.
If the same thing keeps turning up, uninvited, most nights, you were not meant to hold it alone.
