There's a ton of smart phone anxiety apps out there including the fabulous AnxietyForum app (OK I lied I haven't tried it yet). But I heard about an app, might be iPhone only, you fire it up if you're having a panic attack or anxiety and it gives you something to do, then if you're still anxious it give you something else to do, etc. Anyone heard of this one?

What is it called? Or are you asking us for the name?
I've never heard of it but I sure would check it out.

I'll look right quick for it!

Edit: I found one named icounselor. That seems like its close to your description.

There is a good one called Relax - it helps you do that special kind of breathing that PanicCured recommends, which gets exactly the right amount of oxygen in and CO2 out. The 'lite' version just has the breathing techniques, but the full ($$) version has distractions and other coping mechanisms for anxiety attacks.

I am curious to try some hypnotherapy and have noticed a bunch of anxiety based ones - anyone have any recommendations?

Hmm, I'm sceptical but I'll give it a go, thanks.
