Summary
Bliss is an accessible gratitude exercise journal that can assist those who seek to incorporate Positive Psychology into their daily lives. As the program requires a reasonable amount of motivation to maintain continuous use, it might be more relevant for those who already try to incorporate gratitude exercises into their daily schedule. Bliss is simple and easy to follow, and delivers the principles of each exercise in a pleasant manner. Content is professional, clear, and concise. On the downside, the app lacks a certain amount of tunneling, as most exercises do not include recommendations on when or how often to do them. Furthermore, the program could use some motivational features in order to encourage continuous use at the right time.
Notes for Clinicians
Bliss can be added as a supplement to ongoing treatment in cases where the treatment incorporates or focuses on Positive Psychology. The app is mostly suitable for practicing the approach between therapy sessions, while the logs can be reviewed and discussed in session.
