Skills – Games to cope with stress
Skills can be used by anyone having to cope with stress. The app can also be used to assist self-management during psychotherapy.
When undergoing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, or Borderline Personality Disorder, BPD, the application of skills are sometimes advised by your therapist. Skills are exercises to help you to refocus on the here and now. These exercises can improve your therapy experience, especially when using dialectical behaviour therapy or DBT.
There is an indication of the acceptance of the Skills app provided by BPD/PTSD patient feedback. By using the Skills app you have to determine together with your therapist whether the anti-dissociation skills / stress tolerance skills work for you or not. There is no claim to general effectiveness, we are currently working on that. By using the Skills app you have taken note of this and agree to our terms and conditions.

Great idea. Looking for new games and fix for Timing game (not responding to tap second time I opened it).
Even though it seems like I'm doing better, my skills go down almost every time I try a game. I did the bubble popping one, got halfway, played again, and had it decrease. That's after struggling with the pattern one and trying it 5 times only to have my score decrease or stay the same every time. How am I supposed to unlock anything if my score keeps decreasing? Go easy on us at least a little, not everyone's good at everything
Sounds promising, but just doesn't work. The start button is unresponsive and when I have been able to get past the opening screen, clicking on the skill game or menu icon does nothing so I literally couldn't interact with this app. Waste of time. Uninstalling/reinstalling didn't help.
Great app. Helps tremendously when I am stressed.
I tried for stress relief, it sorta worked but seeing how my progress was getting worse, especially in the sound and memory exercise, I lost my motivation. I'm not blaming the game, I'm sure it's great for other people.
I'm not sure of it's effect on me. Maybe this thing cannot make a dent in my CPTSD (which includes simptons of anxiety). But I don't feel much relief. Maybe I was expecting too much. It had helped once today but not the second time. Didn't help the second time at all. I still gave it 4 stars because not many apps help me at all
cant use sadly, sounds like a great idea but it has a start button and does not respond when I tap on it. keeping it installed and awaiting an update to have that get fixed. when/if that happens I'll change my review
SCAM!!!! This games doesn't list a cost, but it's $6.00, or .99 for each game. Do not install. There are other "stress games" exactly like this that are completely free. Not worth the price.
I love this! And so does my baby! If only there were a child mode where the time limits were removed and we could just keep playing a task...then 6 stars for sure!!!
I really need to be able to turn off the sounds sometimes without having to turn off my media sound.
Way better than headspace or calm for handling acute stress. Works quicker and can be used anywhere!
I'm not paying $6 to unlock all the games. the one game that's free is alright, but could be better.
Super disappointed! I was excited to play the game but it wouldn't react on any way. No response trying to pull up settings or even play the first game
You get one chance on a game, then it's back to ball drop. Go back to the game you really want to play and it won't work! Pack sand, go deal with your PTSD!!!
Great ap for reducing stress with some memory focused games I am enjoying.
Looks interesting so far, but I don't really understand what the circle on each game means. Could you explain please?
I'll tell you what's stressful, downloading a game just to find out you have to pay to play it. Disgraceful. Deleted!
it's a really nice app, it helps me take my mind off of self harming and helps me with my anxiety
Stopped working second time I opened it
Would not do anything when I hit start button
One time use is not a good app
Great relaxing games
Not user friendly 👎. I have idea how to use this app, so I'm uninstalling it now. Peace Shalom
Love it
The Timing game will not work for me, once the question mark pops up, it's done. It is also hard to unlock the levels.
