Actually really helps! I've been struggling with panic disorder on and off since I was in middle school. Using this app is finally helping me work through these feelings, not by pushing them away, but by running towards and accepting them. I haven't read the book, but I want to. The combo of emergency sessions that I've used when dealing with flying or panic attacks with daily lessons is perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to finally move past fear and embrace life fully

Amazing app. My therapist recommended the book and after I read it, it impacted my life so much. It was like the book was written with examples from my own life. Then I downloaded the app and it has been incredibly helpful. Whether I need to do a breathing exercise, listen to the narrators calming voice, or just need something to help me navigate a panic or anxiety attack, the app has been great.

The Dare book and process has genuinely helped me overcome my anxiety. It was the missing piece of the exposure process which up until I read Dare had simply been a matter of repeatedly white-knuckling it without making any progress because I did not understand the ways I was resisting the anxiety and how this was maintaining it or worsening it. Dare has been life changing for me. I have not really used the app much I've not needed to the book was enough but the reminder notifications are great
