About this app

Meet Betwixt, the cozy story-based game that helps you master your thoughts and emotions, improve your mental health and wellbeing, and aid with unwinding anxiety, depression and rumination.

Unlike an AI therapist, a mood tracker or a journal app, Betwixt takes you on a guided immersive adventure deep into the mysteries of your own mind. On this epic inner journey, you’ll reconnect with your wisest self and unlock a whole range of psychological powers:

• Improve your emotional intelligence, self care and coping skills
• Calm your nerves and soothe overwhelming feelings
• Uncover new paths to self improvement, self actualization and growth
• Tap into your subconscious mind through the power of story
• Identify your values to increase your motivation, sense of gratitude and life purpose
• Deepen your self knowledge to help you in overcoming sadness, resentment, low self esteem, fixed mindset, negative perception, insecurities.

💡 WHAT MAKES BETWIXT WORK
Betwixt is a relaxing, de-stressing game that draws on decades of psychology research and therapeutic practice into how we feel, think and behave. It includes tools for emotion regulation and self reflection, journal prompts for mental health, elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness approaches, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Jungian theory and others. Together, these methods work to improve your wellbeing, calm your mind, increase your self esteem and help you deal with challenging emotions.

An immersive experience
In Betwixt, you become the hero (or heroine) of an interactive adventure through a dreamlike world that responds to your thoughts and feelings. We’ve used immersive storytelling and sounds to create an alternative for people who find a CBT diary too dry, and struggle to engage with mindfulness, breathing or counseling apps, emotion trackers and mood journals.

For neurodivergent users, Betwixt stands out among ADHD apps for adults by offering a creative, engaging approach that removes distractions, improves your focus, motivation and mindset without creating digital addiction.

Evidence-based
Independent psychology research shows that Betwixt can significantly reduce anxiety, stress and depression, with effects that can last months. For years, we’ve been working with various therapists and psychology researchers to make the science of wellbeing accessible to anyone. You can find an overview of our research studies and collaborations on our site at https://www.betwixt.life/

I'm really enjoying this app, and in the several weeks that I've been using it, it has been very helpful in figuring out myself and my strengths and weaknesses. It's not been an easy journey, though, I've already needed a couple breaks to let my thoughts settle and sink in, or because I wasn't in the right headspace for a bit, but I've been eager to return to the app every time. I already have a few friends in mind I want to recommend the app to once they're in a better situation.

This is very good. I downloaded it to try for my teenager. I used it first and thought it was great. have not upgraded yet, the free content is good but I would like access to the meditations which require payment to access. The fees are very reasonable and once off, not a subscription. I'm giving it 4 stars because I would prefer if there was an audio option rather than just reading text. I think this would he great for people with dyslexia.

this is an absolutely incredible app! everything about it is so soothing and comforting, it doesn't scream self care or therapy at you like some other mental health apps and everything is completely within your control. I adore the fantasy aspect and the way that it runs like a journey of self discovery, all within a dream. the additional resources when you complete a dream, such as the audios and articles, are a brilliant detail. I have nothing to critique about this game!
