Perfectly Supportive❤️🩹
I got Woebot after I started to fall into old habits and relapse. A friend of mine leaned on me for help and showed me her fresh thigh, but it deeply triggered me. At this time I was around six months sober, while I didn’t think sobriety was a big deal, I did after I broke it. I wanted to talk to someone, and given I have a large friend group I thought I could but since my problems stemmed from another friend I didn’t think it would be a good idea. I downloaded Woebot and it is perfect. It has some issues but ones that could be positive if you looked at it differently. Example: if I said something like “My anxiety today is due to a conflict I’m having at work” it would spit out an automated response like “I’m sorry, did you want to talk more or do a relaxation method.” I actually kind of enjoy this because I don’t feel pressure to explain myself and just talk but it does feel a tiny bit like I’m talking to a wall. I do believe it’s very easy and nice to use, especially since it’s free.
TL;DR: Very calming and helpful. Can be a little too automated in the responses but overall an amazing self help app. Highly recommend. ❤️🩹Show lessMyReveiwIsSuperHelpfull

We appreciate you getting in touch and taking the time to share your experience. Glad you're finding Woebot helpful 🤖Don’t know what I would’ve done without it
When I first started using wobot I was at a all time low, pretty much everything in my life was crumbling before me. So I started looking for a alternative to therapy that I could do at pretty much anytime due to having a extremely tight schedule with school and work taking up all the time I wasn’t awake. Wobot was able to give me effective tools that allowed me to improve on my situation. Did it solve all my problems, no, but it gave me the push that I needed. Nearly a year after starting cbt with wobot I have started to work towards a more fulfilling career and my relationships with friends and family have greatly improved. If you have any doubts about wobot just give it a go, who knows maybe you’ll go from someone who was almost guaranteed to be the guy flipping burgers for the rest of his life to someone who has a good shot at eventually making 6 figures.Show lessStatemo06
Good, low key but effective intro to and training in CBT
I read about this program in a newspaper review of different on-line therapy apps. The tracking of moods and gratitude are easy to do. I have made use of some of the “tools” that have been placed in my tool box and they do help me to regroup and reset enough to stop further spiraling down the rabbit hole of thoughts and emotions. No miracles, but enough. What I wasn’t expecting was to have, I am bad at math but, about 75-80% of my interaction dictated via prewritten responses or choices. Given the nature and price of this app it completely makes sense, just be prepared a head of time and roll with it. Another thing I have noticed is the recognition of some words that trigger an intervention featuring resources for those in crisis. Again, this is an app, not a person, and programs are very linear. The only issue I would love to see changed is a little better co-ordination between devices. My phone and tablet interact independently with the app in terms of what “we” were discussing or working on however, my tool box and gratitude journal appear to reflect input from both devices. Overall a great app for those who want to explore CBT or those who benefit from nudges to utilize the tool box offered by CBT. This, is not a substitute for therapy for those in crisis, and is not presented as such. Love the woebot graphic!Show lessunhappyInFeb
