Reviews

With Anxiety Challenger, therapists can not only quickly and efficiently help clients plan their exposure practices, but can gain visibility into clients’ process when those practices are completed. This app is the missing link in CBT therapy, providing the ease and accountability needed to help clients engage in more frequent and more effective exposures, so they can more quickly reclaim their lives from anxiety and OCD.

Anxiety Challenger is a great way to learn to challenge your anxieties, using both evidence-based methods as well as some gameification to keep you on track. With its therapist interface, it can be a useful tool to enhance therapy.

Anxiety Challenger is as powerful and practical an app as you will find! It has all the key components to make exposure practice effective and sustainable. Moments before an exposure practice, it reminds clients of the skills they have chosen to help them step forward. Then it strengthens their skill of quieting the chatter of the monkey mind moment-by-moment.
