Frequently asked

Do emotional healing affirmations really work?
Research on self-affirmation (Cohen & Sherman, 2014) shows that consistent, values-based self-talk reduces stress reactivity and improves follow-through. Healio's emotional healing affirmations are written with somatic, CBT and self-compassion frames rather than generic positivity — which is what actually rewires the pattern.
How often should I repeat emotional healing affirmations?
Twice daily for 8–12 weeks is the practice most people notice change from. Healio schedules them for you with spaced repetition so you don't have to remember.
Where can I listen to emotional healing affirmations?
Free on iOS in the Healio app — soft audio, reminders, and a full library of 400+ affirmations across emotional healing and related themes.
