Welcome to our all-new WorryTree app!
If you’ve installed or updated WorryTree recently then you’ll know we’ve made some really big changes - not just to the look and feel of our app but also to how it works, with some wonderful new features that we’re really proud of!
So today we’re going to break down the changes that we’ve made here, and introduce you to our new look WorryTree!
The DTAC is a set of guidelines used in the UK healthcare system to assess digital tools used in patient care. These criteria help make sure that technology used is safe and effective for patients. This means that patients can have more confidence in the digital tools recommended by their healthcare providers. They know that they meet certain quality standards and won't compromise their health or privacy.
Health specialists benefit from these criteria as they can make informed decisions about which digital solutions to use. This improves the quality of care they provide to patients while maintaining data security and compliance with regulations.
Anxiety and sleep problems often go hand-in-hand. You don’t need me to tell you that. If you've ever spent a night tossing and turning, feeling like a bag of cats in a washing machine, then you know the struggle. You know those nights when you're exhausted, but your brain decides it's the perfect time to remind you of every little thing you’ve ever messed up? Welcome to the vicious cycle of sleep and anxiety.
Building better habits around worry is not going to happen overnight, it takes consistent, committed action over a period of time.
Research suggests that it can take up to 90 days to form a new habit, but there are plenty of ways we can help ourselves form new habits. Here are a few things that have worked for me.
Anxiety is something we all experience from time to time as a natural response to stress or some kind of threat, but it becomes a problem when our anxious feelings are long-term, chronic and out of proportion to the situation or event. That’s when it’s important that we seek help and support from our families, friends and/or a health professional.
As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week 2023 and this year’s theme is anxiety, we asked our team and our community what are their go-to ways to deal with their anxiety.
We've been working on and off for the past few months on a new way for us to walk alongside you as you make the journey towards worrying less. We know that not everyone wants to do their worry journaling on their phone or tablet - after all, many of us are trying to reduce the time we spend on our phones.
And so we created our printable journaling page, and thanks to it's success we decided to go one step further and now we've created a whole guided workbook with you in mind.
Sensory practices are all about taking us out of our heads and into our bodies. For those of us who worry and ruminate a lot, we tend to spend a lot of time inside our heads trying to think through problems and worry about them. We often get stuck in a thought loop and it can be hard to break but that’s where these practices work really well.
