BRAVEHEARTS

OCTOBER 1, 2012 begins the testing period for the Mobile Phone Apps I’ve been working on to bring Therapy to the IPhone; to bring what is not seen (true reality – that require faith to see there’s more than meets the eye; an opportunity to look at incredibly private and personal issues like body image or trauma or sexual dysfunction, etc.) on the phone.  

Two years ago I would have said, “Less phone, more face-time.”  Well, now we can face-time on the phone with people we might never talk to.  I might have said “No texting.  Talk.”  Today’s generation says the most authentic realities of their souls through texting.    77% of those aged 18-24 feel anxious if they are separated from their mobile phones. 

I’m ready to wave the white flag of being too old, too relational, too technologically illiterate to use the phone to connect with the world.  I imagine Jesus walking around with an Iphone5 tied to His toga, pulling up the phone, talking into it to say, “Spirit, will you tell SIRI to send a text to everyone in Galilee to meet me for an important message on the Mount.”  

Theologian Helmut Thielicke wrote, “The Gospel must repeatedly be forwarded to a new address because the recipient is repeatedly changing places of residence.” Today’s  culture is like a “Change of Address” form screaming out: “Please take note!” We are on our phones!!”  

The GLOO PROJECT is one effort to forward The Good News to a new address — the address where most of us will live (like it or not) in the next 100 years — the address of Mobility.  YOU CAN REGISTER NOW AT HTTP://glooapp.com/sharonhersh

And so, are you ready for a Brave Change?  Here’s an invitation:

Many of you know that I have been immersed in a world I would had never chosen for myself for the past few months. (Please forgive me for not returning phone calls, showing up, or for being tired — I’ve been working 24/7 with a team of others who are so excited for you to “test” what we are doing.)

Did you know the number of people seeking therapy has decreased 15% last year! People are ready for a different forum for help (they can be “in touch” while out of town, in between meetings, daily, if necessary without having to spend $3.89 a gallon on gas)  DO WE HAVE AN APP FOR THAT? YES!! WE ARE GETTING CLOSE . . . .

I NEED YOUR HELP: (did you know only 12% of people believe they can do anything to change the world??)
According to predictors of the future: What we have been doing so far in the context of therapy and coaching is hoping to turn mobile devices into “identity accessories” to be tools to sculpt behavior and identity. Using mobile devices for self-discovery and self-realization could make the phone take on a role of companion, confidant, and therapist. I passionately want to be a part of this to incorporate the only true Change Agent in life as an integral part of this new field, because mobile or not, only God can transform — but I think He’d use an App if He would use me!

HERE IS WHAT WE’VE GOT FOR YOU TO TEST FOR FREE (AND THE MORE YOU TEST AND TRY THINGS OUT, RATE THE APPS (5 STARS FOR ME PLEASE!), GIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGES, NEW IDEAS, YOU WIN STARBUCKS, AMAZON, GROUPON, AMEX GIFT CARDS, AND IPADS!!)  YOU CAN REGISTER NOW AT HTTP://glooapp.com/sharonhersh

COURAGE TO CHANGE APP that includes:
* “CHANGE CALCULATOR” — AN ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF NEED FOR THERAPY
* “THE BRAVE CHANGE” — AN ASSESSMENT TO SHOW THE TOP AREAS THAT MOST PEOPLE WANT TO CHANGE
(in small or big ways)
*”BAD TIMING” — If the time is not right to jump right into the Journey to Change (through stories, encouragement, ideas, etc., you     stay in the process of change until  you’re ready)anyway!)

“FINDING A THERAPIST” — IF YOU’RE A THERAPIST/LIFECOACH/MENTOR — YOU CAN EVENTUALLY PERSONALIZE THIS PROCESS TO BE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR CLIENT.  You can really be like SIRI!
*”THE THERAPIST IS IN” — NECESSARY LEGAL MUMBLE JUMBLE
*”GETTING COMFY ON THE COUCH”
*”WHERE DO I START?”

The second major app is JOURNEY TO CHANGE (this is a portal that the client enters to choose several paths of change that include information, quizzes, opportunities to journal, make creative projects, and gain self, marriage, and parenting awareness. If you were kind enough to participate during our last testing you will see many, many new functionalities and more will be coming during October – this testing period!!!
