We are living inanxiety-inducing times。在以大流行和社会隔离为标志的一年中,即使是我们中最悠闲的人也可能发现自己想深入纸袋。将所有少年时期的压力付给了混音,但是要拿出他们正常的应对机制,例如与朋友闲逛并从事额外的课程活动 - 您的青少年可能正在寻求支持。

如果您有一个表现出压力迹象和应对技巧的迹象的青少年,那么有很多正念和治疗应用程序可以帮助他们推动度过艰难时期 - 无论是重要的考试,对Covid-的焦虑19,或急剧失控的恐慌发作。

尽管没有任何应用程序将取代精神卫生专业人员的专业知识和指导,但这里有一些高度评价的应用程序,我们根据青少年的可用性,可访问性和适当性对其进行了彻底测试和评估。这些应用程序可以帮助青少年养成焦虑症的任何时候养成丑陋的头部,并且可以帮助您提高支持的压力,从而使他们的压力能够持续一生。

1.思维

MindShift是一个正念应用程序,是专为在焦虑思想中挣扎的青少年和年轻人而设计的。

最适合年龄的人:12 and older
Cost:没有应用程序内购买的免费

思维班is a mental health app that is specifically designed for teens and young adults that struggle with anxious thoughts. It helps hone in on the anxiety the user is feeling and gives them tools to manage that anxiety, such as healthy thinking, finding their “chill zone,” and giving positive action items.

One of the things that makes anxiety so pervasive is the lack of control that occurs when it creeps in. We like that this app focuses on empowerment: It helps to decode anxiety through their “learn” options and also helps the user set specific and realistic goals. One reviewer called this a “cheerleader in your pocket;” we love that definition as it encourages the user to take charge and helps to take the fear out of riding out intense emotions.

2. 7 Cups

This app has personal listeners available especially for teens to chat confidentially whenever they need to.

最适合年龄的人:13至17(青少年的成人选择)
Cost:7杯提供大量免费内容,包括留言板和一个活跃的听众。要与有执照的治疗师建立联系,每月的费用为12.99美元,每年$ 94.99,或者$ 399.99的终身保费访问权限。

焦虑会感到孤独,孤立和不安。如果您的孩子觉得自己是“怪异的”,或者没有人可以与他们的经历有关,则此应用程序提供了一种匿名方法来找到支持和访问应对工具。什么设定7杯除此之外,它的核心是基于社区和连接的核心,同时停止了实际的治疗(至少在免费版本中)。

它也完全是匿名的,这可以让一个青少年在如何定义,接受和谈论他们的感觉上感到释放。该应用程序提供社区团体,用户可以在其中提出问题,得到同行的支持,并结交可以与他们正在经历的事情有关的朋友。

For users who want a more focused experience, they can also sign up for a 1:1 chat with a dedicated, volunteer "active listener." A paid service will connect users with a trained therapist; the free service, on the other hand, connects users with a trained volunteer who can offer “compassion but not advice.” The service clearly states that the active listener is not meant to be a therapist, but more of an empathetic and anonymous ear meant as a safe haven of support. The app does provide the “active listeners” with a training program on sensitive subjects so they are empathetic to typical teen struggles and know when to advise more in-depth help.

3. Boosterbuddy

Booster Buddy给出了描述为健康习惯的“每日任务”的提醒。

最适合年龄的人:12 and older
Cost:没有应用程序内购买的免费

Anxiety can make you feel like you are spiraling out of control.BoosterBuddy提供称为“日常任务”的提醒,以帮助用户养成积极的心理健康习惯。

该应用程序的创建是为了建议应对强迫症,饮食习惯和自我伤害的应对技巧。虽然这可能不是您的孩子专门从事的工作,但焦虑经常变成痴迷的想法,作为患者通过压力源来管理的一种方式。

This app can help them get on a more healthy and empowered track. This is about approaching the beast in small, manageable increments and teaching self care through prompts and exercises, and it also offers a coping library to help users through particularly rough patches.

4.简单的习惯

信用:简单习惯公司

简单的习惯是对青少年的自我照顾的快速途径,几乎没有时间或备用的注意力。

最适合年龄的人:12 and older
Cost:该应用程序可以免费下载,并提供大量免费内容。使用额外的高级冥想,每月$ 11.99,每年$ 99.99,终生为299.99美元。

那里有太多的冥想和正念应用程序,但是在测试了少数最著名的人之后,这确实对我们很突出。简单的习惯是为压力感到压力的青少年制造的,要么不能花时间自我照顾,要么不知道该怎么做。

这个应用程序的开发人员注意,the biggest obstacles for teens is that they feel overwhelmed at the prospect of meditation, that they don’t know how to meditate, or they feel like they don’t have the time to fit mindfulness practices into their lives. This app takes all of those hurdles into consideration and creates tailored programs, where a little bit of mindfulness goes a long way.

简单的习惯有助于满足特定需求,并为用户制定量身定制的计划。超级特异性的冥想集中于常见的压力源,包括非常及时的压力源,例如缓解冠状病毒焦虑症,如何思考您的手以及如何将恐惧变成平静。冥想是短而甜的,无判断的。其他一些应用程序会带有您需要在正念练习中需要的感觉,而这个应用程序确实会符合用户所处的位置。

5. rootd

信用:简单的Media Inc.

rootd就像在口袋里有一个实际的恐慌按钮。

最适合年龄的人:12 and older
Cost:该应用程序可以免费下载,并提供大量免费内容。Full access subscriptions cost $6.99 a month, $59.99 a year, or $139.99 for a lifetime.

rootd就像在口袋里放一个恐慌按钮一样。This app’s main feature is a big, red panic button that users hit when they feel a panic attack flood in. Depending on different levels of panic, Rootd takes users through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help retrain the mind into positive behavioral strategies for coping. While it can take a few tries to feel empowered, Rootd talks users through a guided approach to regaining control when anxiety strikes.

这个应用程序还提供一个深呼吸ol, an anxiety journal, guided visualizations and body scans, a stats page, and empowering lessons. Taking a “knowledge is power approach” to wellness, the app also provides reading material to demystify panic and anxiety. The app also calls out major stressors for girls, including social media anxiety and anxiety that might be associated with PMS.

6.穴位压力:治愈自己

启动可以帮助缓解焦虑的想法。
学分:亚历山大·莫克鲁什(Alexander Mokrushin)

Finding anxiety release points can be a powerful tool against anxiety.

最适合年龄的人:12 and older
Cost:该应用程序的所有内容的价格为$ 1.99。没有其他应用内购买。

Sometimes breathing and visualizing aren't enough. Acupressure is a natural healing strategy where you target specific areas of the body in order to alleviate pain or stress by increasing blood flow. We like that this app focuses more on the physicality of calm than the mental aspect.

当您遇到压力时,有时分析思想模式会使您感到更加焦虑,有时 - 就像您坐在其他学生的教室里的桌子上时,呼吸可能是不切实际的。该应用程序指导用户使用哪些压力点以帮助将注意力从情绪中拉开,这反过来又可以帮助青少年找到一种新的方法来近来,放松和专注。这不是视觉上最吸引人的应用程序,但是其背后的想法和执行力很棒。

7.情绪轨道

学分:Mood Track / Matthew Windwer

情绪杂交is like a bullet journal for moods, helping teens to identify patterns in their anxiety and stress.

最适合年龄的人:12 and older
Cost:Free to download and use, however there is a one-time fee of 99 cents for full anonymity.

无论您的孩子是否患有临床焦虑症,还是只是在处理受苦少年的典型情绪波动,情绪杂交是一个很棒的应用程序,可以帮助他们跟踪自己的心情。该应用程序基本上像是一本子弹日记,用于情绪波动,用户可以输入,评分和评论他们的感受。

MoodTrack有助于识别情绪并在几天,几周,几个月或几年的时间内在色彩斑块中跟踪它们,从而对情绪和感受以及焦虑和压力的触发者进行广泛的了解。这是一个很棒的工具,因为它可以帮助用户尽早确定趋势,例如中期之前的压力,月经周期前的情绪和假期前的忧郁感。通过能够跟踪趋势,用户可以努力打破负面周期和习惯。

The free version of this has a bit of a social network component where other users can search and follow by username. This can be helpful when trying to build a community and when, for example, a therapist or a parent wants to keep track of a teen’s moods. We can, however, easily see where this might go south—particularly when a community mostly consists of other teens. For a nominal, one-time fee of 99 cents, a user can track their moods with full privacy; for less than a dollar we recommend springing for the extra privacy.

8.微笑的头脑

学分:微笑的头脑PTY LTD

微笑的头脑is a mindfulness and meditation app and self-care toolkit all in one, with directed content made just for teens.

最适合年龄的人:7 to 18
Cost:完全免费,没有应用内购买。

微笑的头脑is a mindfulness and meditation app, but it also acts as a self-care toolkit. When you first sign in, Smiling Mind asks for users to register with an age preference. Each age group is given a set of guided meditations designed to bring users from a beginning level to a “mindful master” level over time.

许多自称为“所有年龄段”工作的正念应用程序都将青少年排除在外,只允许他们选择是否适合幼儿或成人的类别,使他们的内容太幼稚或不可行,没有真正解决独特的压力,青少年的经历。

微笑的头脑不仅认识到青少年的需求,而且使青少年分为年龄较小的年龄较小,因为他们认识到,只有进入中学或高中的青少年与申请大学或工作的青少年感到不同。这个应用程序上的青少年自我护理内容确实关注着青少年在想和感觉,他们想听的内容以及他们需要如何听到它。

对于青少年而言,该应用程序专注于更好地理解压力以及如何照顾自己,不仅通过有导向的冥想和身体扫描,而且使用简短且相关的视频,这些视频以某种方式设法实现了积极和有趣的完美平衡,直接。

自我护理工具包的整个部分由简短的视频组成,这些视频不仅会介入共同的压力源,不仅有助于验证青少年的感觉,而且还可以通过乐观的宿主和时髦的图形来识别适得其反的倾向。我们真的很喜欢这个作为自我保健的介绍,并与您可能尝试的任何其他应用程序同时推荐它。
