Think differently about what you feel

There are dozens of ways to understand what you're going through — but most people never get to explore them. Basal puts ten approaches side by side so you can discover what actually resonates.

Basal app showing perspectives on a thought

One thought. Ten lenses.

01

Share what’s on your mind

A conflict, a recurring thought, something you can’t quite make sense of. Write it in your own words — no prompts, no structure.

02

Explore how different approaches see it

From CBT to somatic therapy to existential philosophy — each framework highlights something the others don’t. It’s like getting ten different expert perspectives at once.

03

Discover what resonates with you

Some perspectives will click instantly. Others will surprise you. Go deeper into any one — get a full reframe, the key insight, and a question to sit with.

04

Track how you feel over time

Optionally log your emotions using the Yale RULER framework — a research-backed way to build emotional awareness and notice patterns you might otherwise miss.

Approaches you might never have tried

Most people only encounter one or two therapeutic styles. Basal lets you explore ten — so you can learn what's out there and find what works for the way you think.
