Can’t turn off awful voice- even enhanced and premium

Can’t turn off voices without turning off all sound
I would give more stars if I had the option of ‘none’ on the voices.

I implemented the requested feature to turn off the voice while keeping the dot sound active in version 2.6. Note with the voice off, you have to manually press the continue button each time after the prompt text display. Additionally a volume control has been added for both the Voice and Dot sound.

Very good! Suggestions for Custom improvements

In ‘custom’ could you add an option to each stage for varying time lengths. Currently you select one timespan eg 1 min and that applies to each stage. Some stages need the user to press continue when they are ready ie unlimited timespan.

For the assessment stage can you add a scale for the user to select their intensity of feelings from?

Can you allow a second scale to be added as well.

At the end you’ve added a conclusion about the balloon/ breathing. Can you allow this to be edited or removed. I wrote my own conclusion so I was surprised when this invisible conclusion was read out as there was no indication it would be added.

Thank you for your app!

Regarding Custom EMDR session In version 2.6 of the app update there is a pre SUDS prompt before the Desensitization phase and one after it. A session history feature has been added (top navigation bar with clock icon), here you can review the scores you have entered for each session along with repeated desensitization counts. The default "breathing guide" has been removed and you can now add your own Breathing End Phase text or opt-out of this part. Adding individual timespan segments for each phase wasn't done to keep the interface simple for quick usage. But in version 2.6.1 a continue button confirmation has been added to the phases Installation, Body Scan and Closure. With this you can in a way choose how long you stay in each phase. The old way was adding multiple Installation phase entries when you want a longer Installation phase.

So far so good

Just had the first guided session . Looks good might take some more time to get used to it . Tried one traumatic event .really good

Very good and it works

I’ve had it done with professional before, many years ago and then two years ago (for different things)
Just tried this and it does exactly the same, but without costing £150 and hour
Thank you

Excellent DIY alternative

I’ve been treated for CPTSD with EMDR before and this is an excellent alternative that I can do myself at home. I’ve looked at several apps and this is the only one that offers a process and setup similar to what I received in person so I trust that it is going to be just as rewarding in the long term. I’ve already used it several times and it produces similar results. I recommend experiencing EMDR with a practitioner first so you know what’s involved and you have the recovery support but otherwise this is a great tool.

App has bugs, won’t open

I can’t say if the app works well or not because it won’t open. Yes, I am running the latest version of iOS and have tried restarting my phone. I wish I could get my money back.

Have you done a manual restart of the phone by pressing on the power button and wait for the slide to turn off. Wait a minute before turning on the phone? You can tap on the action button on the right side of the navigation bar on the main screen to direct email the support team.

Wonderful App, Suggest One Minor Fix

This is a wonderful, customizable app for EMDR therapy. It’s simple to use, too. The only thing that I would suggest is either more time for the instructions, or a paused screen when instructions are given, so users can click when they are ready.

Not worth the money.

I was expecting way more options for the price.

The newest version has a lot more options and functions compared to version 1.2

Good and simple

I was just looking for a dot that goes back and forth, so this does the job for me. I like that it is somewhat customizable with size, color and speed, and would like it even better if it was customizable with different patterns and directions, like vertical and diagonal. But as is, it was well worth the reasonable price.

Best Custom Guided EMDR App

This app is fantastic for home practice. It has a guided EMDR session all setup but you can also set three custom sessions where you can type the questions you want to ask yourself. I set up the target memory first in my mind while looking in the mirror than j start my custom session using the modified EMDR procedure steps from a therapists guide to EMDR to walk me through the desensitization. I really like how you can slow down the voice reading the questions to you and customize the size and speed of the ball. The only reason I am giving this app 4 instead of 5 stars is because the digital bilateral beep that will sound in one ear and than the other with headphones on is so annoying that I have to turn off the option to have it on. It would have been great to have a few more choices on sound options or at least one that didn't sound like a fire alarm chirp. It's still the best EMDR app out there for home use since you can actually set up the questions so you don't have to think about what you are asking yourself. The other expensive apps have different backgrounds and objects for eye cues which don't really matter and better sound but nothing to guide you through the questions.

Love it

I love this app. I had heard positive things about eye movement therapy and I love having a tool in hand to benefit the most from therapy.

Emdr app

EMDR therapy works great for me. Unfortunately, this app isn't much help. The sound on an iPad doesn't work. I emailed customer support and received no response.

Make sure your iPad is not set on Mute. There is a software mute button on the control screen (on the main screen - the upper right side - slide down and locate the bell icon)

EMDR101

I was taught EMDR using bilateral hearing. That’s all I wanted was the alternating beep used with headphones. This has the beep and so much more. It reviews the concepts and talks you through a session. My complaint is the mechanical sound of the beep. I found it aggravating where I would prefer pleasant/ peaceful. I was able to get past that after awhile and found the program useful, esp. considering the price.

So helpful

The simplicity of this app is what attracted me to it. I just want a dot. Not elephants, and I can't pay $20. The app is very high quality. I didn't expect a step by guide through the process, it's extremely helpful for a beginner like me. And so effective. I immediately can feel my body relax.

So grateful for having this. It's very reasonably priced! :)
