Wow. This app is TOTALLY worth the wait. The individual nature of it is amazing. The map offers minitherapies and many other very useful mental health tools. After using it for less than an hour, I saw how beneficial it was and immediately purchased a years subscription. This app can really help people, unlike some of the other apps that are just games/require loads of time. You can do this whenever & it saves where you leave off so you can go right back to it. It's only gotten better with time!

Overall being is great for addressing the most specific and focused needs for your mental health and well-being. A large variety of mini therapies are available to focus on those topics you wouldn't otherwise be able to find readily available materials for, when the need were to arise in the moment. Definitely worthwhile to give the app a try.

The fact that this is being offered with all features for FREE is incredible. I ended up subscribing just to support them. I have had so much trouble getting into self-care apps because I don't trust the time and energy I'll invest to learn them (not to mention the good ones all cost $$$). This one is well worth the time. They've really thought this through and the experience is clean, friendly, easy, relaxing, and it feels like you're talking to someone else, while talking to yourself as well.
