EMDR Tappers

What is bilateral stimulation?

Bilateral stimulation (BLS) is a core technique in EMDR therapy. It involves alternating sensory input, like a moving dot on a screen, tones that alternate between ears, or gentle tapping on your phone or wrist, that helps the brain process difficult memories and emotions. Your therapist guides the type and speed during a session.

Do I need to download an app?

No. You can use EMDR Tappers instantly in your web browser at app.emdrtappers.com. It's free and no signup is required. For the best mobile experience, including Apple Watch support and vibration feedback, download the app from the App Store or Google Play.

Is EMDR Tappers free?

Yes, genuinely free. The app includes unlimited bilateral stimulation sessions with visual, audio, and vibration BLS, real-time device sync, and Apple Watch support.
