It’s calming, relaxing, develops mindfulness, patience, meditation, exercising, eating healthy, losing weight by rewiring your brain. It is a serious App, worth committing to. Is a teaching about love science-based?! If a book, podcast, TV show, or therapist helps you to have more love from your most important relationships. When you complete using our App all your important relationships will become more loving! People enjoy learning to love themselves. They know that repetition is essential. People frustrated by repetition benefit from the App the most. The theory that Love is Nourishment, and the creation of this App are the brainchild of Stefan Deutsch. Collaborating with psychotherapists, mental health counselors, etc. from around the world. They succeeded in adding essential human development tools - Self-awareness, Vision, Communication, and Unconditional Behaviors - not found in psychology. It’s focus is mental illness. The Apps tools are effective when used in an integrated way. Leave one out and people continue to struggle navigating life. Most therapeutic modalities leave some out. The App teaches you all four. Now we know why we need love, and learn how to get it unconditionally! The work of Drs. Luby, Selhub, Watson, Hendrix, Fredrickson, Field, De Freitas, MD., and Deutsch’s IRB approved clinical trial using self-love to improve doctors’ and nurses’ self-care and prevent burn-out, all point at the theory. Results were accepted by the AMA and the APA. TESTIMONIALS – “Stefan Deutsch is The Father of Love. “ Ivel De Freitas, MD “God bless you for your work on Love.” Prof. Shawn Rubin “I witnessed the power of his concepts as a therapist and in my personal life.“ Prof. Roberta Karant “This App is a breath of fresh air for your heart and mind.“ Dr. Duffy Spencer The Love App provides a simple vehicle for people to attain higher levels of self-worth, self-respect, self-care, patience as it enriches their relationships. The concept that Love is Nourishment is revolutionary. As infants we need love unconditionally to survive. Then we need it for the rest of our lives. Science proved there are no short-cuts to learning how to behave more lovingly toward ourselves and others. Our reactions are wired by survival in the past, and it takes repetition and time to rewire our brain for new, loving behaviors. Using the latest brain-science, we slowed down the process of learning and made sure that using the App for only a few minutes a day, but often, can have lasting effect on users who commit to and are patient with the App’s process. Users learn through 4 methods: 1. self-study 2. self-monitoring 3. sharing your journey with others 4. consistently applying the tools. 3 Major modalities + unconditional behaviors, are all integrated for lasting results. The App has 21 learning modules called Steps. Each Step repeats for 7 days, allowing users to learn its content. Each day has 4 mini-interactions with the App – for a total of 5-6 minutes a day. These mini-interactions are at - breakfast – lunchtime – dinner time – at bedtime. Each segment takes you deeper, becoming aware of yourself/others, and introduces powerful tools to navigate life. Steps 1-21 - $99.99 – less than a dinner for 2! Steps 1-14 – $59.99 Steps 1-7 - $29.99 Supported by; 1. FREE 100+ page Workbook 2. Private Facebook/Instagram/ YouTube pages, 3.
