Harmony Hypnosis Emergency Validation: Free

Cette application met des messages encourageants à portée de main.

Do you know how great it feels when someone says something nice to you?

Do you ever need a little pick-me-up, some validation?

Of course, you do—everyone needs a kind word now and then, and this is exactly what the Harmony Hypnosis Emergency Validation app provides.

How It Works

This app is very simple to use. You simply press the smiling face, and your phone speaker plays a friendly voice that says something encouraging to you. If you don’t want to take time to open the app first, you can always use one of the two widgets, so that a little validation is always just a finger-tap away.

The free version of the app cycles randomly among twelve recorded affirmations in two pleasant voices. You have the choice of enabling and disabling any of the validations you like or dislike.

The pay version of the app adds over 100 additional affirmations, along with the ability to record your own, so it’s fully customizable.

Where It Came From

James Hazlerig wrestled with depression and self-doubt for many years before realizing he had to change what he was saying to himself about himself—what some people term self-talk. Eventually, he came to understand that hypnotic suggestion—which grows stronger with repetition—was an important part of changing his mental outlook. Now, as a professional hypnosis practitioner, he helps people with strong minds improve their lives by adopting a more positive approach.

One day, sitting in his office, he noticed how much it helped his clients just to hear an encouraging word, and he wished there was a way they could take his voice with them. Then it hit him—we all carry phones, so what if our phones could encourage us?

As he showed this app to his clients, many of them smiled and laughed after just a few validations, and many said they wished they could have the app right then. Even though it may seem silly that a few words playing on a recording can lift a person’s mood, James’s clients found that it works wonderfully so long as you let it.

FAQ

Q: Does this app have ads?

A: Nope. We don’t want a commercial to interrupt your great mood.

Q: What if I don’t like one of the validations?

A: You can enable and disable any of the validations at will.

Q: What if I hate affirmations, validations, and positive sayings?

A: Then this is the wrong app for you.

(In all seriousness, severely depressed people sometimes find that positivity around them just exacerbates their depression. If that’s your situation, you definitely shouldn’t use this app.)

Q: Can I record my own validations?

A: You can with the pay version of the app. You can also name and delete any recordings you make with the app.

Q: Why doesn’t the Delete button work?

A: The Delete button only works on recordings you’ve added; you can’t delete the factory-provided recordings. (You can disable any of them.)

Q: Why are you so awesome?

A: Because you deserve it.
