Reviews for Curable: Chronic Pain Relief

100% recommend although I'll say I don't use it as often as Breethe because once I figured out that you can't move past a certain level without doing various homework exercises I didn't have time right then. I like and don't like it about it lol! Once I get these done I look forward to exploring more of the app! I constantly recommend it to my chronic pain patients and tell them even if they don't want to end up buying it then installing it and learning about the science of pain is SO VALUABLE!

Mostly junk, with some helpful info. While some of the ideas are "science based", it's not like the exercises themselves have had significant clinical trials (for example somatic tracking). The format of chatting with an assistant where they decide your daily exercise is highly annoying. Just organize the content like a normal app, I legitimately despise having to enter a forced conversation with this half witted AI. I also strongly dislike the main narrator voice. D minus.

Wanted to love it; paid version seems to be nothing more than the regular app. I did the first ten or so free exercises and was like great, love it, not sure exactly how this works exactly but it kept promising all would be revealed with the paid version so I bit the bullet and paid. The app looks exactly the same and keeps making me go through the same fake chat every time. The chat function only gives you a pre-canned answer so its pretty infuriating by the third or fourth time.

This app is immediately life changing. I've experienced several capital T traumatic events in my life. I've locked them in a fortified safe at the bottom of the ocean abyss. I thought that was the end of it. I've come to learn that there's a chain holding me to that box, drowning me in unconscious pain. Because this app puts the keys in my hand, shows me how I am capable of taking control of my life, I can unlock the chains and the stuff in the box just floats away. I have been set free.

just starting out so I can't give a 5 starting review..so far this is great. Update: changed to 3 srara..the contents is very good. Here's what I'd change but Curable support is lacking. Several complaints came in from other members who would like options for other voices in meditation and I general. You get a female voice very nasaly sounding child. No other choices and if your hard if hearing you'll never hear it. The actual app is nit immediately user friendly. Constantly going over things

I love with CPTSD and chronic pain and this has become one of my go-to resources. I love the range of exercises, and being a science nerd, the knowledge is invaluable. If I can talk my way through the biology of stress, it helps me so much more in managing my symptoms. Curable's video series and Groups program were amazing as well. If I could only have one app on my phone, I think this would be it.

I am sorry, I cannot deal with the voice for the meditations. There should be an option to choose another voice. It sounds like she is trying to seduce me, and having problems in that area it is freaking me out. I can't even do them anymore, I have to use Insight Timer. I am basically limited to the writing exercises, which are interesting, but triggering. My anxiety seems to be increased by this process. I also wish you could pay for a month at a time to try before you commit to a year

I just downloaded the app, was guided through set-up, listened to the intro, and then was asked to commit to subscribe without seeing price or subscription options upfront. Why would I get a 50% off code in my email but no idea of price or plan? Really poor first impression with the lack of transparency, huge turn-off, and makes me not trust trying it out. Maybe try a less hip and more direct approach.

This app has helped reduce the pain of my migraines, so I'm very grateful. However, they refuse to make all of the transcripts available to their exercises, so they're not accessible. It's really disappointing to see this kind of blatant ableist discrimination in an otherwise helpful app. EDIT: A word-for-word transcript is 1000x better than no transcript. You can always revise them later. Shouldn't have put out inaccessible content in the first place.

I have a paid year long subscription. It was expensive for me and unfortunately I won't be able to renew. I have tried to use this app and have had mild success lowering pain levels during a migraine. However, the meditation portion is disappointing. After a long period of silence (no music) the woman starts talking again and it's always very jarring to me. There are a lot of alternative resources I have found for meditation that are much more relaxing and effective.
