Caused a traumatic episode
When I was 19 (I’m now 22) a psychiatrist I had for a time referred me to this app to help with my anxiety. Listening to it was very triggering, I felt unsafe, scared and anxious. When I told my psychiatrist this he simply said ‘well it seems to be working, this is a process that will help’. So I continued to use the app, and these feeling continued, until I had a really intense reaction and hurt myself in panic. I again told my psychiatrist this and he again said this was the app working. I stopped using it after that regardless because I really didn’t want to go through that again. Maybe it works for some folks, but it really didn’t for me, possibly because I’m autistic, or other factors I’m not sure. Point is, use with care, this does not work for everyone.

Where is the evidence?
I cannot find any independent evaluation or clinical evidence to support this particular app. There is one paper that finds some benefit for the use of digital sound when combined with music, but not when used alone. Also where is their Orcha rating? It is announced but not displayed. Orcha does not recognise apps that score below 65.

Every word matters
Sheeple have a bad tendency to not watch their words. There’s such a thing called NLP for a reason.
You’re telling me this app is a “PTSD and Trauma aid”.
Why would I need help making my PTSD and trauma worse?
It’s always obvious when Americans or Indians write apps because the language is so poor it actually causes more harm than good.
It should read:
PTSD and trauma RECOVERY aid.
Man, how does anyone expect to get better if you can’t even speak or read proper English?
It’s like when people say: He was a BAD criminal.
Nooooo he was successful, which makes him a GOOD criminal!
He was a bad person.
And by the way, the rest of the world has dropped the D in PTSD a decades ago. Finally, after some of us with a brain knew it was wrong and harmful to your mind. So right off the bat this app is harmful.
NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY AMERICANS USE THE WORD WOKE - because it is near impossible to find one American, who is not an oppressed, conformist being who the public wants them to be.

Helped me overcome catastrophising.
This app really helped me change my life. Last year I went through mental health challenges due to my upbringing. I was going through a personal development change which resulted in catastrophising - the latter feels like you’re unable to control the mind when triggers arise. I followed Ed’s instructions and also made notes of why these triggers arose. The result was being able to breathe and take a minute as triggers arose and change my thoughts. The results are long lasting.My therapist was amazed at how fast I was able to define and move through deep rooted trauma. It also made me realise how much I’ve achieved with trauma so going forward life is much brighter. Huge thanks to Ed and the team.

This sound is painful
The sound of silence is better than this app, in fact, watching any video of Ed is probably more effective than what this app purportedly does - 5 seconds of listening to that fella and I’m asleep. Tried the sound, didn’t like it, deleted. Thanks, but no thanks.
