Reset is a digital art therapy and action support system designed for individuals with task-speciffc anxiety, those who struggle to start despite having strong intentions. Guided by the visual metaphor of lighthouse and canoe, the system helps users through the anxiety storm by integrating a mobile app and a physical emergency kit. It leads users through three stages: grounding, reffection, and action—combining sensory grounding, AI-guided conversations, and task decomposition to transform emotional blockage into actionable steps. Rather than simply tracking emotions, Reset focuses on action recovery, helping users rebuild self-efffcacy and regain momentum in everyday tasks.
