Contact Lasting Support

My wife and I have been using the app for more than a week now. The sessions have really helped initiate some positive dialog. They are designed in small chunks and have been easy to get through. However, we felt that we were left on our own for those questions where we did not agree. You are just left hanging without much guidance as to how to get through the conflict. Perhaps some in app videos would help or suggestions for on demand workshops. There were a couple of audio clips but the rest of the sessions were all text. There is a library of on demand workshops but those are not linked to the sessions so you are on your own to find the workshop that aligns with the session. The amount of bugs in the app has been frustrating. We are having problems with the daily conversation feature where my partner will type a message to me and I will get an alert but I am unable to see this message. I have to ask her to take a screen shot and text it to me. I also have had problems starting the daily conversation where I click the button to start but then the topic is not presented to me. However, my partner can see the topic but I never get to see any of the replies. I also am unable to see details on any of the upcoming workshops but my partner can. Overall this is a good app with lots of potential.

I actually really enjoy this app (I’m a couples therapist) but my biggest pet peeve is they do not push users to get related professional help when needed. It would be great if all of us could handle these discussions without a fight but it’s just not likely because there are deeper things happening. We unfortunately don’t just read the article and change all the behaviors we have had for years. Use couples therapy to manage the difficult topics and explore more personal experiences (ex: trauma, upbringing, addictions, etc) but use the app to continue the work outside session. Meeting once a week with a therapist is the norm but not enough if nothing else gets done the rest of the week. I give credit to anyone taking the first steps to improve their relationship!

We did initial free survey and liked it so decided to sign up, but the whole next session focuses on a single incident. We don’t have one instance like infidelity or anything. I feel like it isn’t really tailored to other small issues. It is dragging on about an attachment injury. At first I listed one of the many small examples that happen daily and it’s taking this one tiny thing and turning it in to a huge issue as if it were some trauma when he ignored me once. My issue isn’t one big event it’s lots of little ones. I think this may cause more problems than it will solve once he reads my answers. It will seem like I’m crazy traumatized by one tiny thing he did years ago.
