An optimised EMDR therapy experience for iPad and iPhone users. If you are doing online sessions with your therapist using an iPad or iPhone, you should install this app to ensure all therapy tools are available and the session is optimised for your device. Once the app is installed, simply tap on the session invite link provided by your therapist to join the session using the app. We recommend that you connect a pair of wired headphones to your device for your session (or you can use the built-in speaker if you are not using auditory stimulus as part of your therapy - please ask your therapist if unsure about this). Wireless headphones are not currently compatible with this app. This app is not intended for use by therapists. If you are a therapist then please access Bilateral Base using the website.
