Apps That Help

[Only 1 of me]

Hi all, thought this might be helpful for some of us who use iPads, iPhones or android phones. I use a lot of apps that I have found helpful and I'm sure others have their own too. Please post below if you have found anything good.

Couple of quick points from the moderators:

Don't post links to apps
Don't post apps you have an involvement in that's just advertising :-)
Try to keep to specific ptsd/mental health. Some games are good coping/relaxing but I'm aiming to find out about ptsd helpers.

Ta!

I will kick off with a few. These are either free or just a pound or so.

I regularly use icbt an app which helps with runaway thinking and takes you through the cbt steps in a clear and simple way.

I also use the mindfulness app which contains a range of guided meditations. This helps when anxiety is out of control and can help with sleep.

I use t2 mood tracker daily to monitor symptoms and behaviours. This helps me to see bigger trends in my progress.

I use a DBT skills app sometimes. Not as often as icbt but has good section on distress tolerance.

I use idea sketch to mind map when writing is too hard but I'm trying to see the bigger picture.

Hope this helps somebody else. Please post any more you have.

I had no idea there were apps like this. Lol. I like this thread!

Thank you for this thread! T2 mood tracker seems pretty good, shall see if it helps me keep track on how I've been over a few weeks, as my therapist keeps asking and I'm like "I dunno, okay, I guess?"

There is an app called Lift to create healthy habits while not directly related PTSD.

I have the Bhudda's Brain App on my phone and find it brilliant. A very handy quick reference in moments of stress, or a longer read at other times.

I also have a Serenity App, with relaxing images and sounds. Great for getting off to sleep.

PTSD Coach for Android is good.

These apps look good. I did't know there was things around like this.

I do't know much about things like this. Can you get apps for laptops or is it just for phones?

Mostly I think they are for phones or iPads there may well be websites with similar content?

I bought the serenity app and think it is really cool! Thanks for the info!

Maybe for an iTouch too, but that might not be much help to you.
