What it is
Serenity (iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad) is an app by a wonderful company named tap tap tap. It promotes relaxation using aesthetically visual and calm auditory elements.
The app comes with 30 destinations that include
- Peaceful fields
- Soft Rain
- Underwater worlds
- Thunderstorms over sleepy towns
- Brightly colored clouds of incense
- Fantastic vortexes
- Piles of sleeping kittens (omg, KITTIES!)
Other Features
Serenity has a built in timer to shut off automatically if you want to fall asleep with it.
For those of you with an AppleTV, the visualizations look stunning on your television set if you want to watch them that way.
In Social Work Practice
I have used this app in Social Work practice:
- To help clients diffuse their anxiety. Some of the images and animation (e.g. rushing water, stormy night) draws the client into the scene and promotes a calming effect.
- As a take-home intervention for clients to spend time gazing at the images.
- As ambient noise when I’m writing my case notes.
- As a self-healing tool for myself and to promote my self care when I am feeling anxious.
In Conclusion
This app gets the Official Iggy-Endorsement 🙂 Go get it! (iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad)
