It doesn't even seem logical how much it works, but it does. Bilateral auditory stimulation in this app with the guided meditations can really help pull you out of, and help you prepare for, situations that cause you anxiety and other strong emotions.
Reviews for Anxiety Release based on EMDR
My clinical psychologist recommended this app to me to help with my PTSD and anxiety. I tried it many times starting with varying levels of anxiousness and it has been so effective for me so quickly each time. This app is worth every dollar. Thank you for creating this.
Amazing app for very deep loss.in my case. But for anyone. I heard about it from a therapist and have tried to pass on to other therapists but can't seem to be able to send a link to them from my phone...now hard to find on play store.
Doesn't work at all with my Bluetooth earphones. Seems to work without so pretty odd. Might be able to figure it out with help files but the links in the info tab don't go anywhere when I click them and there's no contaxt/bug report option
I gave this app 3 stars because after about 35 seconds it goes to the lock screen, thus preventing me from focusing on the alternating lights. This makes my anxiety worse! I checked the app's permissions and it shows "prevent phone from sleeping" as being on. I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling, but it made no difference. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S6.
This is an amazing app for use during virtual therapy sessions with a therapist! ... This app allows me to continue to use EMDR in my therapy sessions, during virtual sessions from home, due to the pandemic. ... I really enjoy the self-led functions for practice and reinforcement of anxiety-relieving behaviors, even when I am not overly stressed, as regular practice ingrains the behaviors so they become automatic in times of duress. ... I was quite relieved at the clear avoidance of faith/ideals or other topics besides simply healing from anxiety, in the sessions. Many other relaxation/calming apps speak of specific body parts (anxiety for an amputee), use religious wording (a trigger for those abused by "the faithful"), or visualization guidance that may contain phobias.This was what led me to believe that there were careful, thoughtful, conscientious mental health professionals involved in the creation of this healing tool. ... I told my therapist about this after I evaluated it's functions, and he is very excited to review it himself from a more clinical standpoint, with the intention of possibly suggesting it to his other virtual patients! ... To suggest an improvement; I would like to see a stereoscopic add-on for this app, as it would allow for distraction-free immersive VR functionality with even the most basic of headsets such as Google Cardboard, a huge boon for those of us with high distractability. I would accept this add-on as a micro-transaction within the app. I would suggest another improvement as well, buy my ideas have tangible value. ... ("..." Added to signify between paragraphs, as the review form turned my review into a difficult-to-read wall of text.
unbelievable!!But i have seen that when I do the eye movements with the alternating sounds at night before sleep, my sleep is shallow and I get up in the. middle of the night with anxiety and cannot sleep for hours. Why does this happen. Please help. Otherwise this app really tones down my anxiety
Used to be good but the visuals and the beats are constantly out of sync now, especially after you pause the track. It's driving me crazy and the app has become worthless as I can't use it like this.
Amazing app but please, please, get rid of or at least lower that guitar that comes on at the end of each session. I end each session feeling amazing then that guitar jarringly blares in my ear and undoes the relaxation. Begging the devs to edit the audio and remove or dramatically lower the guitar, I'd give 5 stars
If you feel anxious for any reason or no reason, I strongly suggest to give it a try. It helped me immensely. For that sole reason I am reviewing so as people who are anxious give it a try.Please give it a try. You might feel the freedom. Above all, given the price we pay for being anxious, comparatively the amount of money I paid for this app is almost nothing.. Considering the expertise and experience of Mark and compared with offline costs for a EMDR session, the price of the app is reasonable, in my opinion. In my phone Redmi Y1 model, I could not get 5 helpful articles under Info. Given the various phone models, it happens in very few cases. One email to Mark- Author of the App-got those 5 articles in my email in few minutes and that too on Sunday and he promised me the next update will not have that glitch. I appreciate his support. Try it.
