By using this app, you agree to the Apple Standard EULA (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/)

The MiCBT Guide is designed to assist you through the entire Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy program (MiCBT). It is an evidence-based therapy that combines mindfulness techniques with cognitive-behavioural strategies researched and supported by clinical psychologists worldwide since 2004. The app provides a comprehensive approach to mental health and personal growth for you to develop, enhance and maintain your overall well-being. The MiCBT Guide provides all you need to improve self-confidence, enhance relationships, and cultivate inner calm and compassion for yourself and others. GUIDED MEDITATIONS One of the key features of the MiCBT Guide is the inclusion of the complete set of guided mindfulness meditation techniques traditionally used in one of the distinguished Burmese Vipassana traditions. These time-honoured methods help reduce suffering through the gain of profound wisdom. CUSTOMISED TIMERS Customised timers for meditation allow you to personalise your meditation sessions according to your preferences by setting the duration and intervals that suit you best. This feature helps you establish a meditation practice that fits your preference in the long term when you may prefer practising in silence. PROGRESS TRACKERS Another important feature of the MiCBT Guide is the inclusion of progress trackers designed to help you monitor your progress and see how your well-being is improving over time. PRACTICE DIARY Another useful aspect of the MiCBT Guide is the practice diary, which enables you to track your mindfulness practice over time. This tool helps you stay motivated and engaged in your journey towards better mental health. EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLS The app is equipped with evidence-based tools and measures, such as the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), Mindfulness-based Self-Efficacy Scale (MSES-R), Equanimity Scale-16 (ES-16), and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). These automated measures produce excellent graphs to show reduced symptoms and improved abilities, such as emotion regulation, decreased avoidance and improved communication skills. They are industry-standard measurements that help you pinpoint areas for improvement and track how well you are managing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By understanding your patterns, you can make positive adjustments to support your overall well-being. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Smart notifications are another helpful feature of the MiCBT Guide. They remind you of your meditation sessions and encourage you to stay consistent in your mindfulness practice. This function helps you stay on track with your goals and establish a regular meditation routine. GOAL SETTING Goal setting is integrated into the app to help you set specific, achievable goals for your well-being and keep track of how you’re doing. By setting clear targets and checking your progress, you can stay on track and motivated in your personal growth journey. WEEKLY READINGS Weekly readings provide ongoing support and inspiration during the program, providing you with a valuable psycho-educational resource to deepen your understanding of mindfulness practice and enhance insight into your thoughts and emotions. The audio option for the weekly readings is a convenient feature for people who don’t have time to read, as well as for those who have difficulty reading. VIDEO SUPPORT Video support from Dr. Bruno Cayoun, the creator of MiCBT, provides motivation and expert guidance on mindfulness and cognitive-behavioural techniques. With Dr. Cayoun's expertise and insight, you can enhance your practice and deepen your understanding of the principles behind MiCBT. We offer three subscription options to access the full MiCBT Guide: Monthly, 6-Monthly, and Yearly. Subscription will be renewed within 24 hours before the end of each period at the rate of your selected plan. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
