Actually really helps! I've been struggling with panic disorder on and off since I was in middle school. Using this app is finally helping me work through these feelings, not by pushing them away, but by running towards and accepting them. I haven't read the book, but I want to. The combo of emergency sessions that I've used when dealing with flying or panic attacks with daily lessons is perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to finally move past fear and embrace life fully

This is an incredibly well put together app for those who have anxiety. There is tons of free stuff within the app and that being said it's so well put together and helpful that you definitely will be considering paying for the yearly subscription. From techniques that have been proven through counselors as well as people's personal experiences. it reminds you that you have tools around you and people who really care. Fantastic job at getting people the resources they need, & seamless app.

Loved the book. The method has been literal live saving. The app was a great companion and helper to keep my progress moving forward. One star off for the disappointing way they handle subscriptions. I paid for a year, with my subscription renewing October 8th. Unfortunately I can't afford it this time around so I cancelled it a month in advance. Even though I have a month left, that I've paid for, I no longer have access to content in the app. Very disappointing.
