Latest reviews of Good Blocks: Improve Your Mood, Self Esteem and Body Image! app for iPhone and iPad
I have used many apps to help me, this one surpasses them all! I look forward to playing and am so excited that it works. I am starting to actually reject some of these self-deprecating, intrusive thoughts. Really, really happy about this app!
...But I bet the game will help
Love this ! A must download
A really nice little game that makes a good break in the middle of a hectic day.
As a mom, and a clinical psychologist, I found this application to be very on target, fun and actually effective. I assume it needs practice to maintain efficacy, and to that end updates and new versions and treats will be necessary. Enjoy!
