Psychobabbel TM 2019
Psychobabbel App Instructions
HOME
Home is where you will find all of the Psychobabbel cards. If you select certain categories, only those cards will show on the HOME page. To reveal all the cards again, simply unclick the categories on the CATEGORIES page so none is highlighted.
QUICK GUIDE
This page gives you starter instructions as well as a link to the website for full instructions on how to use the app.
CATEGORIES
The categories are color-coded. Look for the category you desire to learn about from the 8 choices. Click on the category(ies) you’d like to learn PsychobabbelTM phrases for. You’ll know it’s highlighted when you see a red border around the tile. Return to the home page and review the cards in the category(ies) you have chosen.
DAILY BABBEL
Whenever you are learning a new language, repetition is key to memorization. PsychobabbelTM is no exception.
Choose to receive the cards you’d like to learn by clicking on the small calendar icon in the upper left corner of any card and select the time of day you would like to receive this card (your Daily Babbel). Confirm your choice and you are all set.
You will receive your Daily Babbel every day at that same time on your phone unless or until you choose to remove it from your Daily Babbel list.
Remove the reminder by going to the Daily Babbel page. Press on the card you’d like to remove and hold it until it disappears. You can reinstate it at any time.
There is no limit to how many Daily Babbels you can have, and you can have the same card sent to you several times per day.
All of your Daily Babbels will appear on the Daily Babbel page with the time you have chosen to receive each one below the card. This enables you to keep track of them.
CUSTOM CARDS
Although PsychobabbelTM has chosen many phrases (and we will continue to add more as time goes on), some may not capture exactly what you’d like to say. That’s why we have added feature for you to create your own personal phrases. Some guidelines for creating your own cards: keep the sayings about your feelings, your reactions and your requests. Stay away from blaming phrases. Feel free to use nicknames but stay away from derisive types of humor, put downs or anything that might be seen as a put down or a “pushaway.” All PsychobabbelTM cards are meant to bring more connection, not less, so keep that in mind when you’re creating your own phrases.
FAVORITES
In the upper righthand corner of each card is a small heart. Click on the hear to “favorite” cards that you think will be most helpful to you and your partner.
You will find all of your favorites in the Categories page.
By clicking the calendar icon in the upper lefthand corner of any card, you can add your favorites to your Daily Babbel calendar. This will help reinforce your memorization of this new phrase.
PSYCHOBABBEL TRANSLATOR
Most people don’t use better communication because they don’t know better ways to get their message across. The translator allows you to type in key words or phrases you might normally say, and learn the Psychobabbel Phrase instead.
