Testimonials
We've asked our users how working things out with Lucidly's tools has influenced their life, how it has made them feel, and how it compares to their experiences with therapy, with talking things out with friends and family, and with sorting things out through journaling, after using Lucidly's tools for anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks. These are some representative responses:
"Before Lucidly I was constantly in the background thinking about my life without really even noticing. Now it is like all of that is cleared out. I feel as though I found a center I didn't know I had, or forgot I had."
"Lucidly provides a wonderful tool for stepping back and taking stock of one's life. I love the simplicity of just answering questions that speak to me. Over time I am feeling a stronger sense of peace and confidence as my life is coming back into focus.
I love how everything I capture from my life is presented back to me through the prompts. There have been many times where I am prompted to look for connections and one will jump out and I think 'That's it! I totally see it now!' and I have this moment of clarity where I have a new insight about myself. It's almost like putting together I giant jig-saw puzzle of one's self and seeing a whole picture emerge."
"Lucidly has opened me up like a book, and taught me how to examine my life in a meaningful and powerful way.
It has provided me with the best return, by far, on my time spent working on myself. Once I saw the patterns within my own life I haven't forgotten them. I am now free to choose to change what I want to, and importantly, to see what I don't want to change.
It is a fun and challenging system that is there 24/7. Insights don't come on a schedule, and I like knowing that Lucidly is there to help me capture and explore them.
I learned more about my life in 6 hours of using the system than 2 years of talk therapy."
"I am naturally a scoffer at self-help tools, for a variety of reasons, none that I can attach to Lucidly. I am astounded how easy it is to use and how diverse its range is. The prompts were easy and compelling."
There are many things I could go on about my favorite was that I could keep it as simple as I liked. Yet, I realize I could delve into anything I so desired or felt I needed to explore within myself.
The safety net of no one ever being able to access my private thoughts is the most important feature of Lucidly."
"I JUST started using Lucidly this evening and wow. Just wow. I can't believe how quickly I got down deep into some insights that I did NOT have before."
"I measured my life outlook before and after using Lucidly and all of my levels had increased from the beginning of the session by at least 30% -- which makes sense because I felt so much better."
"What I really like is that I can use Lucidly at my own pace, sometimes in a therapy session I feel pressured to say things I’m not comfortable talking about yet."
"I feel more secure (with Lucidly than with therapy) because I know that it is only being seen by me."
"The software let me pause and think. That resembled real life meditation - really cool."
"Lucidly is similar to talking to family and friends. It's almost like venting. I've never been to therapy but I feel like Lucidly is very much like a therapist, asking questions, seeking clarity, etc."
"Lucidly has been very life changing and very empowering for me. I am a private person by nature but even more so when it comes to my emotional well-being. I am not one to ask for help or seek out the help of others when I am hurting or am confused.
This had lead me to harbor anger and resentment and left me unable to move on in many parts of my life. But Lucidly has changed this.
I am able to go onto the app and work through very private emotions and feelings and get these feelings sorted out in the privacy of my own home. I no longer find myself 'stuck' in an emotional loop but instead am finding resolution and peace. Using Lucidly has become part of my daily life."
"Lucidly is much better than talking to others because i'm looking into myself for the answers to my behavior instead of trying to reflect off of someone who may have other biases."
"I was able to talk about several aspects of an issue and explore them in depth. In some ways, Lucidly helped me realize connections that I didn’t even see before in my own life."
"I think Lucidly offers a very unique and practical solution to help people work through anything on their minds."
"Lucidly is much more productive (than therapy) I think because it allows me to explore topics at my own pace and allows me to answer questions that offer some insight in to my behavior and feelings without adding extra bias or input such as seeing a therapist."
"I think Lucidly is much better than journaling because it is guided and allows me to stay on topic."
"After using Lucidly, I feel like this might be a viable alternative for a daily therapy session."
"I think Lucidly eliminates a lot of the deterrences most of us deal with when thinking about talking about certain matters with a friend or family member."
"Delving into Lucidly literally has made me feel emotionally and even physically lighter, like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders."
