About this game

Skills is a collection of games that help you to focus on the here and now. The games are mindfulness and distress tolerance skills that can be used anywhere. Skills is developed together with psychologists according to "analogue" skills successfully used in therapy.

Skills can be used by anyone having to cope with stress. The app can also be used to assist self-management during psychotherapy.

When undergoing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, or Borderline Personality Disorder, BPD, the application of skills are sometimes advised by your therapist. Skills are exercises to help you to refocus on the here and now. These exercises can improve your therapy experience, especially when using dialectical behaviour therapy or DBT.

There is an indication of the acceptance of the Skills app provided by BPD/PTSD patient feedback. By using the Skills app you have to determine together with your therapist whether the anti-dissociation skills / stress tolerance skills work for you or not. There is no claim to general effectiveness, we are currently working on that. By using the Skills app you have taken note of this and agree to our terms and conditions.

Even though it seems like I'm doing better, my skills go down almost every time I try a game. I did the bubble popping one, got halfway, played again, and had it decrease. That's after struggling with the pattern one and trying it 5 times only to have my score decrease or stay the same every time. How am I supposed to unlock anything if my score keeps decreasing? Go easy on us at least a little, not everyone's good at everything

Hi Mary, your progress to unlock new skills isn't actually going down. The progress bar around the skill you just played is just for the score in that game. You should see the progress bars around locked skills increasing. We will look into how to make the UI clearer. Thank you for the feedback!

really good tool, ive suggested it to many of my friends. i just wish it was easier to unlock new skills, especially when most of the beginning skills dont work for me. i previously paid to unlock all the skills before my old phone died, but sadly no matter what i do i cant get google or my app to remember that i did that.

I've been searching for something like this for so long. Very happy with it because most apps only focus on mindfulness exercises and that works when I'm very anxious but not when I'm dissociating. I always felt like there was some sort of "activation " missing and now I finally found it.
