EMDR Tappers

About EMDR Tappers

Want to manage stress or anxiety? Apply the scientifically proven technique of using sounds, lights, and vibrations to stimulate both sides of your brain.

The EMDR Tappers app was designed by researchers, veterans, and licensed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) professionals to replicate EMDR therapy tools with only a smartphone. 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. 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.
