The 'pocket psychotherapist' application has been launched just in time to help ease the end-of-the-year burdens of the workplace, shopping and family gatherings.
'Awareness', the brainchild of holistic therapist Ronit Herzfeld and launched last week, allows the ever-stressed, particularly at holiday time, to find psychological solace, reports ABC News.
Herzfeld said her creation could help users discover inner peace in the routine of their daily lives.
Users with 3.99 dollars to spare are reminded by up to 25 gong tones a day to take a deep breath and assess their mental state. The application asks how you are feeling.
Based on the response, the application plays up to 20 videos with instructions on how to reduce stress. It also gives you about 400 inspirational quotes, such as 'God gave burdens, also shoulders'.
The application also color-codes your feelings and charts emotional states over a day, month, week and year.
The application has 10 moods and under each one there are sub-categories. Anger, can be frustration, hurt or betrayal. For each mood there are two videos.
The constant iPhone reminder to take a deep breath and redirect behavior can teach the user to change behavior, according to Herzfeld.
There are no advertisements on this application and all data is kept private, stored only on the iPhone. It works with or without a network connection.
