This is what therapists who currently use elona therapy say
elona therapy is a modern extension to everyday therapy. The smartphone is always with you and can be used as a helpful addition to therapy sessions using the app. For example, it replaces paper and pen for monitoring tasks and lowers the inhibition to work on therapeutic topics in everyday situations. I find functions such as reminders, an overview of the next treatment appointment and the collection of interactive tasks to be clear, useful and helpful for achieving the set therapy goals.
elona therapy provides my patients and me with helpful support in everyday therapeutic life to better anchor, expand and repeat the content of therapy. The patients' independent, regular therapeutic work is promoted. Elona therapy thus also creates a valuable addition to relapse prevention, for example.
A great therapy tool for simplifying VT sessions and as a supplement between the individual hours. elona therapy helps me to better address the individual topics of the patients during the session.
For me, elona therapy is psychotherapy in the digital age. It is like a therapist's extended arm and fills the time between hours.
When working with elona therapy, I am just as autonomous in designing my therapy as before and at the same time I have a gift basket of therapeutic exercises from which I can give my patients one to take home at any time.
elona therapy is a helpful support for therapy and offers lots of well-explained psychoeducational content for patients that can be used for preparation or follow-up between sessions.
