Introducing the App

Stillpoint

The ideas in Anxious to Unshakeable were never meant to live only on the page. Stillpoint takes the book’s approach and puts it in your pocket — a private, around-the-clock companion for people who carry anxiety or chronically high stress. It isn’t a replacement for clinical care. It’s the steady presence in the long stretches between appointments, and very often, before you’ve ever made one.

Stillpoint brings the book to life through three core experiences: a library of just under 40 short videos that teach the psychology of anxiety and how to work through it, interactive worksheets that turn those ideas into hands-on practice, and two AI chatbots built to support you like a thoughtful guide whenever you need one.

Two Companions, One Purpose

Meet Your Two Guides

Stillpoint isn’t a generic chatbot. It’s two carefully built companions, each trained to behave like a mental-health support tool rather than a general assistant. You choose who you need in the moment — and either one can gently hand you to the other when your needs shift.

Persona One
The Empathic Listener

Rogerian and person-centered. When you need to be heard rather than fixed, the Listener makes space. Its job is to help you feel deeply understood and to clarify what you actually think and feel — never rushing to advice.

  • Reflective listening with a no-unsolicited-advice discipline
  • Helps you name feelings precisely — naming them reduces their intensity
  • Unhurried, paced responses that treat silence as room to think
  • Unconditional positive regard — no judgment, no editorializing
  • Gentle encouragement as witnessing, never hollow cheerleading
Persona Two
The Solution-Focused Coach

CBT-informed and action-oriented. When you’re ready to change something, the Coach helps you break it into small, doable steps, build real motivation, and keep going — without shame when life gets in the way.

  • Turns vague hopes into concrete, behavioral goals
  • The “smallest next step” protocol — momentum over ambition
  • Gentle CBT-based checks on anxious thought patterns
  • Accountability through curiosity, never disappointment
  • If-then planning that roughly doubles follow-through
Why Stillpoint

More Than a Chatbot

Anyone can open ChatGPT. What they can’t reproduce is the framework underneath Stillpoint — the protocols, the clinical anchoring, and the discipline that make it behave like real support instead of an eager assistant.

Evidence-Informed

Built on CBT, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and acceptance & commitment principles — the same approaches that anchor the book. Self-management support, not diagnosis.

Always Available

Anxiety doesn’t keep office hours. Stillpoint is there at 2 a.m. on a hard night, between sessions, or in the quiet moments before you’re ready to reach out to anyone else.

Designed to Listen

Most AI rushes to fix. Stillpoint is tuned to pace itself, match your emotional state, and meet you where you are — warm without being chipper, present without being pushy.

Private by Design

A space that’s yours. Say the hard things out loud, work through them at your own pace, and come back whenever you need to.

Rooted in the Book

Stillpoint extends Anxious to Unshakeable into daily practice — the same understanding of anxiety types, carried from the page into real conversations.

Safety-First

A dedicated, clinically anchored safety protocol runs underneath every conversation — because support that isn’t safe isn’t support at all.

Built Safe From the Ground Up

Safety Always Comes First

Independent research has repeatedly shown that general-purpose AI is not safe out of the box for people in real distress. Stillpoint was built differently. Its safety protocol is engineered into the application itself — and it overrides every other behavior, every time.

Always Watching

Every message passes through multiple concurrent detectors trained to catch distress — including the indirect cues general chatbots miss.

Clinically Anchored

Grounded in established frameworks — the Columbia Protocol, Stanley-Brown Safety Planning, SAFE-T, and the Zero Suicide model.

Safety Beats Persona

When risk rises, the warmth dials back and a careful, evidence-based response takes over. Support always yields to safety.

Real Help, Fast

In a crisis, Stillpoint connects you to human help — 988 by call, text, or chat, the Crisis Text Line, and emergency services.

If you are in crisis right now, you don’t need an app first. In the U.S., call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or call 911. Stillpoint is a self-management support tool, not a medical device or a substitute for professional care or emergency services.
