I wasn't sure what to expect from this app, but as with all things mental health, you need to do your due diligence. That said, I'd been in therapy for years, primarily consisting of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and felt as if I were going nowhere.After the start of the pandemic, I put myself on waiting lists for new therapy centers after I was nearly misdiagnosed with a severe personality disorder that has no cure and is really scary. After I got in with a therapist and center for individual and group therapy that's centered on DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), they helped me to figure out that in ADDITION to ADHD and anxiety and occasional depression, I have C-PTSD due to childhood and adult trauma.I've never done in-person EMDR because it's insanely cost prohibitive but I found Waji and use it to supplement my therapy and medications. I've been using it for several months. So far so good but I need to be better about doing the sessions more frequently. It's hard to tell if my last session triggered a mini downward spiral a couple of weeks ago because I also wasn't sleeping well and the holidays usually add extra stress. That said, I've experienced very positive results when I now think of particular traumas I've been using Waji primarily for (past intimate partner violence, to be honest) and I feel as if I'm able to move on a lot faster with my therapy in conjunction with the Waji app! I think it's worth a try if you're feeling stuck but only if you have a backup plan with a therapist or trusted advisor of some sort to help you if you're triggered. Trauma and pain and the human mind are so complex and ultimately we have to live with ourselves all the time. I'm glad that technology is keeping up with the times and there are options other than $150+ sessions once per week.
