Wellness Tips

On the home screen is a button called “Tip.” Tucked away in this little, unsuspecting corner of the app are wellness tips, such as “If you’re feeling guilty about something, remember that self-forgiveness means recognizing mistakes and accepting shortcomings” and “Don’t believe everything you think: Challenge your negative thoughts. Is there evidence to support the way you perceive the situation?” These tips don’t rotate frequently, but it’s a nice surprise when a new one displays.

Final Thoughts

This app can be used in several different ways, serving as a stand-alone stress management tool or in tandem with clinical care directed by a health care provider. As is noted by T2, “Due to its portability, this guided exercise is easily accessible when it is needed most.” And although the app was designed for individuals with PTSD and TBI, anybody who wants to feel more relaxed can access this free tool and reap the many benefits provided through diaphragmatic breathing.
