2. Developed in the UK by specialists with many years of clinical experience, the app uses easy to learn clinically proven techniques to help you live a happier, more relaxed, stress-free life.
3. The app helps you monitor your mood and teaches you relaxation techniques such as meditation and deep muscle relaxation that with practice have shown to help people cope better with stressful situations.
4. With no rules to use the app, you are free to jump in for 3 minutes to relax before a stressful situation or use more regularly to improve resilience and keep stress under control.
5. We then help you to reframe this, thinking positively about a certain aspect of the situation and reminding you what you did on a specific day to make you feel good.
6. It also has a 'thought trainer' programme based on cognitive behavioural therapy to help you manage those negative thoughts.
7. *The app is part of a suite of services and is offered in partnership with companies, charities, insurers and other organisations.
8. By remembering what we can change rather than what we can not, we can help ourselves to control our emotional state and live happier lives!
9. This means that your charity, insurer, company or other organisation you may belong to has to sign up in order for us to provide the service.
10. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel - we use techniques that have been practised in hospitals and clinics for years, but in a fun, game-based format.
11. Using our Mood Meter you have a confidential platform to track your mood, the emotions you feel, and the situation you were in.
1. The CBT voice seems to dip in and out of the recording that i sometimes don't quite her speech! And sometimes, the text displayed during the session is far too small to read/the screen is clustered with info... Overall the app activities itself are brilliant, with my favourite being wise words and self relaxation techniques!On starting, it gave an countdown clock with no explanation so just had to sit and wait.
2. Good content, but has slow "points accumulations" animations between exercises that are pointless and annoying.
3. With trial and error, I then worked it out and was able to.complete 5 exercises (despite the ever increasing countdown clock before starting an exercise).
4. The app is very slow, most of the time I don't feel like opening it, which isba shame as the content is actually useful.
5. However, on the last 2 exercises, all I got was the countdown clock and no actual exercise, yet once the clock finished it said I completed the exercise.
6. I also fell for the "count down clock" thing, but figured it out eventually! Turn up the volume, duh! UI needs work, esp.
7. Then if I try to move forward to the point I'd reached it says I haven't unlocked it yet when I was just using it! I also don't like the chime noise accompanying the calm breathing (I know it can be turned off).
8. However, there seems to be a glitch with the Mood Meter - there is no possibility to add hot thoughts even after this part of the CBT programme is complete.
9. What the points are for... Who knows? Who cares? The registration process was a wretch - why it couldn't just use the credentials the health app that directed me to thrive... No idea.
10. I really rate this app, and I'm incredibly grateful I've had access to it this year in particular, through work.Marred by irritating animations and s-l-o-w loading.
11. I'm hoping the content is easier to get through.As much as i love using this app, it tends to misbehave or overheat my device thus causing it to lag at times.
