Our favorite update so far! Check out Brightn 2.09

Hey Thrivers,
We hope you're having an amazing day! We're super excited to tell you about a cool new feature in your mental wellness app that's all about helping you understand yourself better.
Meet Your New Journaling Companion
Our journaling feature just got a major upgrade! We've introduced an AI that's inspired by Carl Rogers, a famous psychologist known for his awesome skills in empathetic listening and understanding people just like you.

The Science Behind It
The AI uses something called reflective listening, which is a method developed by psychologists to help people understand themselves better. It carefully reads what you’ve written and responds in ways that encourage you to reflect more deeply, without judgment. By asking "what" questions, it gives you room to explore your feelings and thoughts in a safe, supportive space.
How to Use the Brightn AI Journal:
Tap on Journal at the bottom of your screen.
Select Blank Journal at the top of the journal screen to start a fresh entry.
Type out whatever’s on your mind—whether it's about your day, your feelings, or anything else you're thinking about.
The Brightn AI will respond with thoughtful questions or insights based on what you’ve shared.
If you feel like exploring further, just click "Going Deeper" to get an additional response and continue reflecting on your thoughts. You can repeat this step as often as you want.
Make sure to select “Finish Entry” when you’re finished for a supportive reflection.

Digging Deeper to the Root Cause
By guiding you with thoughtful "what" questions, our AI helps you uncover what's really going on beneath the surface. This means you can:
Understand Your Feelings Better
Find Solutions to Challenges
Grow and Thrive
Why This Matters to You
Taking care of your mental wellness is super important, especially with all the ups and downs life can throw at us—be it school stress, friendships, or just figuring things out. Everyone can benefit from getting to know themselves a bit better.
Give it a Try Today!
Ready to see how it works? Jump into your app and start a journaling session. Don’t be afraid to go deep—the more you share, the more the AI can help guide you to new insights about yourself.
Remember, we’re here to support you every step of the way on your journey to becoming the best version of you!
Stay awesome and keep thriving,
The Team at Brightn
