DBT Coach

I love the DBT process and find it to be perfectly suited for how I view the world and the skills I KNOW I need to improve. That said, I have a huge workbook/binder to work through for all my DBT dairies and skills tracking. Using a physical medium is never my first choice, so I rarely if ever get around to logging things at all, or at least in the moment as should be done. This lets me check in nightly, whenever it strikes me to, and do proper diary cards and get reminders to practice my skills. Without the app, I genuinely wouldn’t have made a quarter of the progress I have with my DBT therapy process. On a more practical note, the UI/UX design is great. It’s accessible, easy to read, pictures are nice, the reminders and dashboard are good, and the color selection differentiates from sections really well. If a dev ever reads this, don’t mess with a good thing, you’ve nailed how the app looks and feels!

I have tried a multitude of apps to help me find hope and healing, and was always disappointed. I have also been disappointed with every mode of therapy in my lifetime except for DBT, so I decided to try out this app just in case it was was helpful (like my DBT courses) After learning the ins and outs of this app, I was relieved to discover that the apps creators know their stuff about DBT!! I love this app-it is BY FAR the most informative, thorough, and interactive tool out there for anyone who is serious about wanting to recover from BPD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. I have been sharing this app as much as I can with my online support communities and platforms. My one complaint is the price to access the premium version. I find it disconcerting that some of the inaccessible material is access to information when one is in an emergency/crisis. Also, there’s no option to “share” except to a “therapist” which limits growth for the app itself. I have seen many apps with tiered access such as providing users with “pro” access (less expensive option with some unlocked features) as another option or being able to unlock certain features as needed (like 1.99 to unlock each lesson) or being rewarded more access for sharing the app, etc. I KNOW that this app has the potential to save and improve lives. I rarely EVER write reviews, but for this app, I made an exception!

I have had the app for about 3 weeks and I love it. I have been increasingly use his. I can't think of any other app I have done with except maybe Facebook when I went throught a invalidation phase. I have been in DBT and I know it well. But the videos in this app are awesome and like how they break the skills into digestible pieces. Diary card is very well designed and love the timeline view of entries where I can see everything I've done in one screen. I just shared the app with my therapist and she is excited too. I am able to share my diary card entries via the app (only what I want to share with her) and she sees it on the clinician app in real time. I would pay the subscription fee for this feature alone. I do have a Product / IT background and I know how hard it is to build that. Great job developers - thank you doing this for the DBT community and I hope a lot of them benefit from this.
