If you’re experiencing a bout of intense anxiety, Rootd can help you understand the underlying causes of your panic attack—and guide you through it.

What we love: The big red panic button. “The Rootr” uses the latest techniques in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to stop a panic attack. If reading affirming messages or listening to a calming voice is more your style, Rootd stays with you for as long as it takes to feel grounded again.

Quick tip: After you make an entry, Rootd will encourage you to write three things you’ve accomplished, big or small. According to the app, reflecting regularly on your achievements and emotions can help you identify what may be subconsciously triggering your anxiety and panic attacks.

Meet the creator: Rootd founder Ania Wysocka began having panic attacks at university. “The whole concept of Rootd is to befriend your fear,” she says. “It’s to help you face it head on and not be so afraid of it.”
