The Pocket Therapist assists the therapeutic process between therapy sessions

The Pocket Therapist helps in learning regulation skills for stress, ANS arousal level, and emotions

Stress, anxiety, and trauma symptoms quite often include a dysregulation of the ANS which can lead to an uncontrollable hyper- or hypoarousal. Due to chronic stress or traumatisation our capacity to regulate our ANS and strong emotions may be compromised.

In psychotherapy an essential goal is to learn to recognise the changes in ANS arousal level and emotional state, and to find suitable tools and exercises to develop regulation skills. Clinical experience has shown that developing self regulation skills demands systematic practise.

With the help of the Pocket Therapist exercises the therapist is also able to encourage and motivate the client to practice regulation of the ANS and emotions outside the therapy sessions. The Pocket Therapist offers practical exercises for the client in an accessible form. It is possible for the therapist to tailor the recommendations for each client’s needs at different stages of the therapy process. The Pocket Therapist application helps clients to recognise the triggers of their trauma symptoms and find suitable regulation tools for each event.

The Pocket Therapist includes audio exercises in the following categories:

• Activating exercises
• Calming exercises
• Present moment exercises
• Visualization exercises
• Compassion exercises
• Resonance frequency breathing exercises

There are also RFB exercises with nature videos and background information on stress and traumatisation in the application.
