Not sure what I would be paying for
Response from developer
Hey there, thanks for reaching out! The app provides evidence-based techniques that have decades of research supporting their efficacy which focus on three main things: 1. Re-familiarization with inherently safe stimuli. When someone has been traumatized, they often associate stimuli that is not inherently dangerous with the event and begin to avoid it. For example, if someone is traumatized in a hotel, they may become avoidant of all hotels in the aftermath, even though hotels are not inherently dangerous. Brace helps users identify and remedy this type of avoidance. 2. Restructuring of unhelpful beliefs. In the aftermath of a trauma, many people tend to feel significant guilt/shame, even blaming themselves for outcomes they could not have prevented/controlled. Brace helps a user become aware of these beliefs and begin to correct them. 3. Processing the memory itself. After a traumatic experience, a desire to avoid the memory of the event itself is common and makes sense. However, avoiding the memory will cause it to resurface in uncontrollable ways such as nightmares or flashbacks. Brace helps users process the memory fully and thereby lessen these symptoms. All of these techniques are based on clinical practices that are provided in therapy today. Because each user’s story, avoidance and stimuli differ based on their experience, the process will be somewhat different for each user, but it will focus on those three elements, using homework assignments that include physical activities as well as recordings and processing work to do so. Hope that helps - we will think about how to make this more clear in a future release! If you have any other questions please feel free to email contact@traumabrace.com.
