REACT: Transforming Stress into Solutions for Doctors
In the demanding world of healthcare, doctors are no strangers to pressure.
REACT is here to help you navigate these challenges, transforming stress from a burden into a source of personal and professional growth.
Thrive in Your Role
REACT empowers you to not just manage stress, but to use it as a catalyst for growth, empathy, and excellence in your practice. By nurturing your own wellbeing, you're better positioned to make a profound impact on the lives of those you care for.
What is the REACT framework?
1. RECOGNISE
a specific work challenge
2. EXAMINE
negative emotions and thoughts
3. APPRECIATE
positive values and hidden benefits in negative emotions
4. CHANGE
untrue negative thoughts with cognitive therapy tools
5. TAKE ACTION
to overcome the challenge with small steps
What's inside the REACT 5 Minute Therapy Tool?
Write any current or upcoming challenge that is causing stress. This could be overload with patients or admin, a possible complaint or even a public speaking event.
Stress is often a combination of different emotions. Work with 1 of 8 emotions triggered by the challenge and reflect on the negative thoughts behind this feeling.
People often don't realise the GOOD reasons for feeling negative emotions in response to challenges in life. This may lead to self-blame and shame and worsen stress. Find or add your own specific positive values and benefits of your emotions.
Find up to 6 thinking errors (if present) then change thoughts using proven 'externalisation' techniques as if speaking to a dear friend in the same situation. Feel the difference in your stress immediately.
Answer time-bound '4S' Questions (Search, Social support, Specialist, Self-care) to take simple next steps to manage or overcome the challenge.
Anonymised answers for added privacy
We take privacy incredibly seriously. All data is encrypted and stored in secure cloud locations with stringent security certification. We collect only basic demographic data and never ask for your name or email address within REACT forms. This allows you to answer honestly and get the most from the tool without worrying about being identified.

REACT is quick cognitive therapy for busy professionals inspired by TEAM CBT principles
What is Cognitive Therapy?
Created by Psychologist Dr Aaron Beck in the 1960s, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) aims to change negative emotions (like stress) by changing untrue, negative thoughts into true and empowering alternatives.
What is TEAM CBT?
Early CBT pioneer, Psychiatrist Dr David Burns added a structured approach to tackle hidden resistance we all have to changing our thoughts. This unlocked quicker mood changes for many clients.
How is REACT different?
This innovative framework blends TEAM CBT principles with coaching and problem solving to aim for immediate stress relief and empowerment in 3 minutes compared to hours of conventional therapy.
