The EMDR Tappers app was designed by researchers, veterans, and licensed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) professionals to replicate EMDR therapy with only an iPhone and Apple Watch. Users can set the pace of animations, vibrations, and sounds. These stimuli are synchronized to replicate the benefits of EMDR therapy in any setting without the expensive, bulky equipment. Users can also use the app with just a single phone or two phones. All of this for free. No external, annoying ads. The core of EMDR therapy is bilateral stimulation—alternatively stimulating each side of the brain with sounds, lights, and vibrations. EMDR is a scientifically proven method of dealing with stress, anxiety, and other negative psychological conditions. The EMDR Tappers app combines the benefits of bilateral stimulation with positive affirmations. These affirmations are delivered bilaterally to help re-program your brain with healthy thoughts and beliefs. EMDR is a “strongly recommended” technique by the leading veterans' organizations, and the American Psychiatric Association has noted that EMDR is effective for treating PTSD symptoms. The premium version of the app allows users to set the color of the animation, choose the sound, and save custom settings as well as access preset settings. Download the app today to experience the power of bilateral stimulation. Terms of service: https://www.inspirehopecounseling.com/emdr-tappers-terms-of-service

About

Memory Palace ASD

Features
Read full description

The Loci method, or "Memory Palace," is a mnemonic memorization technique that involves associating the information you want to remember with locations in a familiar physical space. This app displays rooms in a house. You can view each room at any time until you become familiar with them. When you select "Place 1 Picture," a famous painting will be randomly placed in each room. Once you've viewed them, you can go to the "Check Memory" option, where you can indicate which paintings were in each room. When you place them all, you'll be informed of how many you guessed correctly. This can also be done by placing two pictures using the "Place 2 Pictures" option. You can then check your memory of their location.
