Response from developer

Hearing this from someone who has experienced EMDR both as a practitioner and as a client means a great deal to us. Thank you for giving Heal EMDR a try and for taking the time to recommend it. We really appreciate it!

Traumas of a lifetime

My therapist had mentioned EMDR to me, but then, readily stated no one in this town practiced it. I had to, as in so many times of my life, go it alone. I found this app and I am now three sessions in. It is a bit unnerving at first, and don’t be surprised if you’re fatigued, have a headache, and just don’t wish to be around people for awhile. I had a breakthrough, my third session in, and it felt GOOD. It was a “mild” trauma to use as a test. It worked.
For someone who had suffered one violent form of trauma at 15 through to now at 56, this is the first time I’ve felt I can possibly manage! I have far more work to do and cannot say enough about the support team with this app. Please, do this for yourself. You will heal. You will be yourself soon.

Response from developer

We created Heal EMDR because we wanted to make EMDR accessible to people who might not otherwise have access to it, so reading your story really made our day. We’re so happy you stuck with it through those first few sessions and had a breakthrough. The fatigue, headaches, and emotions you described can all happen as your mind continues processing after a session, so it’s great to hear you gave yourself that space and came out of it feeling better. Thank you for trusting the app, for your kind words about our team, and especially for taking the time to share your experience with others.

8 sessions in, big YES

I’m about to finish my eighth session with this app, and I’d highly recommend it. I’ve done EMDR in person with a psychologist before, and while it’s always helpful having someone there to guide you, reflect with you, and help you dig a little deeper, I was honestly surprised by how similar this experience felt.

If you don’t currently have access to therapy, health insurance, or affordable healthcare, this can be an amazing tool. I don’t have access to either anymore, and this app has been a lifeline for me. I’ve been using it to help work through CPTSD, and I don’t think I would have made the progress I have without it.

One of the biggest things for me is that my CPTSD had reached a point where it was affecting my ability to work. For the first time in about a year, I finally feel confident that I can get back to working and supporting myself again. That’s a huge deal for me.

It’s not a replacement for a great therapist, but it’s an excellent alternative and support tool when that’s not available. I’m grateful I found it.

FAQ

What is Heal EMDR?

Heal EMDR provides self-guided Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in a mobile application. It aims to help users reduce symptoms of PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other distressing conditions through guided sessions.

What are the key features of Heal EMDR?

Key features include optional AI therapist guidance or standard questionnaires, targeted programs for specific issues like anxiety and PTSD, personalized session settings, a progress dashboard to track improvement, and a resource library with educational content. All user data is kept private on the device.

How much does Heal EMDR cost?

The app offers subscription plans, including monthly and 3-month options, both of which include a free trial. While the app has a free trial, ongoing access requires a subscription. It is positioned as more affordable than single in-person therapy sessions.

Is Heal EMDR suitable for everyone?

The app provides self-guided therapy tools and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Users with medical conditions should always seek advice from qualified health providers. It is designed for individuals looking for accessible self-help for mental wellness.

How does EMDR therapy work with this app?

The app guides users through the EMDR process, which involves specific eye movements or other bilateral stimulation techniques. This method is designed to help the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact and leading to faster relief compared to some talk-therapy methods.
