## What is EMDR Assistant?

EMDR Assistant
EMDR Assistant provides a simple, customizable bilateral stimulation tool designed to support Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. This application creates smooth horizontal movement with synchronized audio cues to facilitate bilateral stimulation, an essential component of EMDR therapy.
Features

Bilateral Visual Stimulation: A colored ball moves horizontally across your screen at an adjustable speed to help guide eye movements
Synchronized Audio: Alternating stereo sounds enhance the bilateral stimulation effect
Customizable Experience: Adjust ball size, color, speed, and background to suit your preferences
Built-in Journal: Record thoughts, feelings, and progress after each session
Simple Controls: Start and pause stimulation with a single keystroke

Important Disclaimer
EMDR Assistant is designed to be used as a supportive tool under the guidance of a qualified mental health professional. This application does not replace professional therapy, diagnose conditions, or serve as a standalone treatment.
EMDR therapy is a comprehensive psychotherapy approach that should be conducted by a trained and certified EMDR therapist. The bilateral stimulation provided by this application is just one component of proper EMDR therapy.
If you are experiencing psychological distress related to trauma, anxiety, or other conditions, please consult with a licensed therapist who is trained in EMDR techniques. To find a certified EMDR therapist, contact the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) or your local mental health provider network.
This application is not intended for self-administered therapy. Always use this tool as directed by your healthcare provider.
