Rewellme app: reset your mindset

Hello, I'm Andrew Belaveshkin , MD PhD, and creator of  Rewellme app ( AppStore , GooglePlay or Web ):   an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy and mental health based on visual metaphors, mental contrasting, and a card system. Having worked with patients in the field of preventive medicine and healthy lifestyles for a long time, I noticed that the biggest problem is not a lack of knowledge. People already know very well what is useful and what is harmful. The problem is the gap between knowledge and intention. Of course, some manage to jump over this gap by force of will, find themselves in a favorable environment, and have inspiring examples before their eyes. But for many people this is a difficult task.   How to make it easier? I have always thought about this for a long time and looked for answers from experts and scientific research.

The symbol of Rewellme is the ouroboros. It is an ancient symbol of wisdom, renewal, and rebirth. Its meaning can be succinctly described as the end of one journey and the beginning of something new.



The alchemists regarded the ouroboros as a representation of a cyclical process in which the heating, evaporation, cooling, and condensation of a liquid contributed to the purification of elements and their transformation into the philosopher's stone or gold.

For the alchemists, the ouroboros embodied the cycle of death and rebirth, a key concept in their discipline. The serpent, biting its tail, symbolized the completion of the transformation process, the conversion of the four elements. 

Thus, the ouroboros represented the "opus circulare" (or "opus circularium") - the flow of life, what Buddhists call the "Bhavachakra," the wheel of existence. In this sense, the symbol represented by the ouroboros was imbued with an extremely positive meaning, embodying completeness and the full life cycle.

Swiss psychoanalyst C. G. Jung imparted a new meaning to the symbol of the ouroboros. In orthodox analytical psychology, the ouroboros archetype symbolizes darkness and self-destruction simultaneously with fertility and creative potential. 

In the theory of archetypes, the ouroboros is a symbol that implies darkness and self-destruction alongside fertility and creative potential. Thus, Rewellme suggests breaking old harmful habits and creating new ones, mirroring this duality.
