Breathe now

For OCD · ERP & urge surfing

Urges are waves.
You can let them pass.

Still helps you pause a compulsion in the moment, and slowly practice facing what's hard, at a pace set by your own triggers, not a generic program.

What's inside

  • 01
    Delay the compulsion

    Set a timer and let the urge rise and fall on its own, without acting on it.

  • 02
    Slow breathing

    A quiet breathing rhythm: in for 4, hold for 2, out for 6. Low on stimulation on purpose.

  • 03
    Sit with uncertainty

    Practice not answering the “what if” instead of chasing reassurance.

  • 04
    Your own fear ladder

    Tell the app what's hard for you. Steps are rated 0 to 10 on SUDS, and every one is yours to edit.

  • 05
    Guided exposures

    Timed sessions with the reminders that fit your trigger, not a generic script.

  • 06
    Habituation, charted

    Peak and end distress tend to drift down with practice. You'll see it happen.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell it which situations are hard for you. Pick from common OCD themes or write your own.

  2. 2

    You get a draft fear ladder from your answers. Adjust, re-rate, or remove every step.

  3. 3

    Practice one rung at a time and watch your distress come down, session by session.

Still is a practice companion, not a replacement for care from a licensed therapist. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 (US) or your local emergency number.
