What matters most is how you handle the stress response when you’re triggered — and becoming aware of what sets it off. We give you the tools.
Harmoni is not just a library of exercises. Marianne helps you name the trigger, the stored expectation and the next small step.
Write what happened, what you felt and what your body expected. Marianne reflects it back in plain language and suggests a short exercise you can actually do now.
The point is not a long analysis. It is to make the pattern clear enough that you can train it.

“Let us look at what your body expected, and choose one small exercise that gives it a different outcome.”
Your brain doesn’t just store what happened — it also stores what it expects to happen again. That expectation triggers the stress response before you can think.
You know them:
They’re not just thoughts. They’re stored expectations. And they can be retrained.
Modern neuroscience shows that when the brain retrieves a stored memory, it becomes unstable for 10–20 seconds. In that window, the emotional charge — the expectation itself — can be updated through new experience.
It’s not about “erasing” the memory. It’s about giving the brain a new outcome, so the stored expectation no longer triggers the same response.
The window the brain opens when a memory is activated — when it can be updated.
The expectation only updates when the body experiences something different.
The pattern changes through repeated experiences over time — not in one session.
Based on research by Joseph LeDoux, Bruce Perry and Robert Sapolsky.

The hippocampus stores facts — the amygdala stores emotions.
Memory reconsolidation: Your brain opens memories for editing for 10–20 seconds.
A short, structured exercise that helps you stop the response and give the brain a new outcome.

Start with 3–5 minutes of StoppStress when you feel a little stressed.
Do one short session a day. Repetition is what gives the brain a new outcome.
This is the concrete user journey after registration: a short mapping step, a calming session, guidance and repetition.
Use Awareness to describe the situation, reaction, expectation, need and strategy your body chose.
Go to StoppStress SOS when your body is activated. The exercise takes 3–5 minutes and gives the nervous system a different outcome.
Once you have written down the pattern, Marianne helps you see what may be behind it and what the next small step can be.
The trigger overview shows which situations repeat, how often they happen and which tools help you most.
The first time I used StoppStress I was in a full thought spiral. After three minutes it felt like someone had flipped a switch.
My own experience with stress and discomfort is why I care so much about giving people simple tools they can use in everyday life.
StoppStress has been used in municipal and organizational contexts. Read more on the research and case pages.

No. This is structured micro-training based on principles from exposure and memory reconsolidation. Short, deliberate exercises where the brain gets a new outcome — so the stored pattern updates.
Your brain stores what it expects to happen. That expectation triggers the stress response before you can think. When the brain gets a new outcome over time, the expectation updates — and the trigger weakens.
Most people notice something after 5–10 deliberate exposures. Lasting change takes at least 30 days of consistent training. What counts is repetition, not the calendar.
Many find that short guided exercises help the body calm down and create perspective. It takes work — but your brain is trained to react the way it does, and it can be retrained.
An exercise takes 3–5 minutes. 3 minutes daily gives better results than 30 minutes once a week. The brain learns from repetition, not from length.
No. Harmoni is training and support, not treatment. Many use the app as a supplement to therapy, or between sessions to practice what they’re working on.
Exposure can make symptoms worse for some. If you have active trauma, recent panic attacks or dissociation — speak with a professional first. In acute crisis, contact your local emergency services.
