It was developed by McGill University in Montreal.
I've been playing it for a couple of months now. I think it does help you deal with rejections, not to dwell on negative thoughts etc. I think it helped me not to focus too much on negative things in my life and just carry on. Just click on a smiling face among all those frowny faces. There is always one smiling face. I think it also helps me with my depression. I feel better since I started playing the game. Materials |

Thanks for sharing this, lexxinski: I tried it. If the length of time it took me to find each smiling face is any indication, then I think I must be really focused in on negatives. With each panel that would come up, I'd hunt & hunt for the smiling face & not see one. Then, after a while, there it would be... like it just all of a sudden popped up! It can become slightly addictive...

Thank you so much for this. I really struggle with ruminating circular negative thoughts. I'll give anything a try

Thanks for the link. I just tried it. It's fun. I think I'm going to keep trying it, for a few minutes each day, and see if it helps with my mood.

My CBT T says that there is solid research that this kind of training works, but you do have to do it consistently for 15-30 minutes a day. I'm trying both the software and the app called Mood Mint--similar structure
