What shipped

Twelfth Japanese page on Wellbeing Compass — a guided worry-postponement tool based on Thomas Borkovec’s stimulus-control technique for chronic worry and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), studied since the 1980s. The core idea is not to suppress worry on contact, but to briefly capture it and defer full processing to a pre-scheduled short window (often 10–20 minutes), then return attention to the present.

Why it matters

JA interactive/practice toolkit now spans eight tools: thought-record (CBT), safety-plan (crisis), grounding/breath (in-the-moment regulation), activity-planner (behavioral activation), three-good-things (gratitude), mood-tracker (self-monitoring + trend), self-compassion-break (Neff/Germer MSC, stateless), and worry-time (Borkovec stimulus-control). A full brief-intervention stack natively in Japanese, privacy-first — covering reflection, crisis, regulation, activation, gratitude, mood, self-compassion, and worry postponement.
