Beyond MST Customer Insights

1. Great job people! Thank you!Not a fan of app directed tools for mental health needs.. gave it try for functionality.. reading words on a phone screen isn't enticing for me when it comes to addressing or providing resources for mental health.. it takes away the human element of helping others and addressing client care needs...I could not listen to a strange woman's voice and relax.

2. Gave some great tools to use.Yold to try the app... Need a code to do so, and cannot get a response from support as to how one GETS a code.Good app to express emotion to make you aware of you.Va does excellent apps.

3. It is just a tool.Productive in helping me to overcome emotions with therapy.I was sexually assaulted at gun point on Fort Sill, Ok in 1990 but never received any treatment or disability.

4. It was a trigger.Just learning but Have high hopes for potential relief and putting this affair back where i don't relive it dailyHas helped me through some tough moments.

5. Check out the others that are good for civilians and vets! Ignore neg reviews.

6. Most of the neg reviews i see are people using veteran specific app, and also counting on app to be end all.

7. This app brings a level of peace I wish I had many years ago.

8. The VA has denied 12 mst claims making up new rules that should not apply to MST per the order description.

9. 5 years of terror started 57 years ago.

10. Ashamed, defeated, alone it affected every aspect of my life.

11. I am sure it is because of the racial bias that is persistent in the military now and then.
