Like having a CBT therapist in your pocket (and I would know lol)

I love this app - for me and my clients. I’m a CBT Therapist. Excellent resource. I recommend it to clients who struggle with any level of anxiety as a tool they can use to further their progress and for managing it on their own when we’re done. Hope it stays free forever. Love it!!!

This app saved me

This app saved me after finding it somehow unexpectedly in the hardest time of my life. Because of it, I no longer fear anxiety. I tell everyone I can about it, and use it still years later. Thank you.. so much for making this app.

Love the app!

As someone who really struggles with severe anxiety, I love this app so much. I’ve been using it for over 5 years now. It really helps me relax.

I also have OCD and this has become a part of my nightly routine. When I turn my lamp off, I play Mental Vacation from the Chill Zone. I almost never actually pay attention to it, but I love having the relaxing voice in the background

My only minor problem with it though, is that in the journal component, you can only type 400 characters. I usually only use it when I need to vent, but I need to type much more than 400 characters.

Overall, this app is amazing. Everything about it is super thought through. I would give MindShift a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I could lol!
Highly recommend (obviously 😂)
