GPS Anxiety

About

GPS Anxiety is a science-backed side-panel toolkit that turns your browser into a calm companion for anxious moments.

What it does
GPS Anxiety stands for Grounding · Protocol · System. When stress rises, open the side panel for immediate, evidence-based coping tools — no new tabs, no apps, no waiting. A central 8-petal navigator gives you one-tap access to six sensory modalities: Breath, Body, Voice, Vision, Sound, and Skin. Each petal opens a curated collection of interactive exercises: vagus-nerve breathing, binaural beats, EFT tapping guides, green-light anchoring, somatic grounding, and more.

An integrated anxiety slider and emotion wheel help you name your state before you tame it. The Name → to → Tame pathway walks you through a structured 4-step process (Name, Body, Story, Perspective) to reframe anxious loops in real time. An SOS heartbeat instantly jumps you to the fastest body-based grounding when minutes matter.

Why install it
- Always one keystroke away — open the side panel with Ctrl+Shift+G (or Cmd+Shift+G on Mac) while you work, browse, or study
- No sign-up required — privacy-first; your data stays local
- Built on clinical research — tools draw from polyvagal theory, EMDR principles, EFT tapping, and somatic therapy
- Works in split-screen — use tools alongside any webpage without losing your place

Whether you need a 30-second physiological sigh before a meeting, a body scan before sleep, or a full reframing protocol during overwhelm, GPS Anxiety gives your nervous system a map back to safety.
