Store description excerpt
Hi there! I'm Ritchie Wong, a Psychologist and EMDR therapist focused on the treatment of complex trauma and CPTSD, so I often see clients presenting with chronic anxiety and difficulties with emotional regulation, among other issues. It is with this in mind that I originally built this app - to provide my clients a simple and efficient system to help quickly and effectively calm the nervous system in between sessions when overwhelming anxiety, panic or even anger arises. Since then, the app has grown to address cravings and urges as well, using the same system. There is a multitude of self-help apps for anxiety on the market that are either of a single modality (e.g. breathwork, meditation, CBT, mindfulness), or a generic set of pick-and-choose tools thrown together which leaves people unsure of what's actually helpful! Furthermore, chronic anxiety is a multi-faceted issue that usually requires a set of interventions for effective relief, not just one. Hence, I designed Regulation Companion as a 4-step system (covering strategies drawn from various evidence-based modalities) to take the guesswork out of managing anxiety. This app addresses various aspects of anxiety so it is important that you go through all 4 exercises in the order that has been listed for optimal results. Only going through one or some of the exercises and/or not going through them in the prescribed order may yield a less-than-desired effect. WHO THIS APP IS FOR It is helpful for people who experience: - Anxiety/panic attacks - Anticipatory anxiety-related thoughts and physical symptoms/sensations - PTSD symptoms (e.g. flashbacks, intrusive thoughts) - Anger problems - General emotional instability - Autonomic nervous system dysregulation - Cravings/addictions (e.g. comfort eating, alcohol, drugs, porn) WHAT'S INSIDE TWO MODES, ONE SYSTEM Regulation Companion now includes Urge Mode (in addition to the original mode for anxiety which is now called Regulate Mode). It's the same 4-step system adapted specifically for moments when you're particularly fighting an urge. Rate the intensity of your urge before and after, track what's actually helping, and lower the urge using the same guided sequence. Switch between Regulate Mode and Urge Mode right from the home screen depending on what you're dealing with in the moment. Breathwork 5 guided breathing patterns — Box Breathing, 4-7-8 Breathing, Extended Exhale, Physiological Sigh (popularized by neuroscientist Andrew Huberman) and Humming Breath, to help slow your body's stress response. Bilateral Stimulation A calming, rhythmic eye movement exercise adopted from EMDR therapy, shown to help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing thoughts and feelings. Thought Distancing A guided, step-by-step ACT exercise to help you create distance from an overwhelming thought, including a playful technique for reframing it through humor. Self-Compassion A soothing touch and guided phrase sequence to help you meet difficult momen
