EMDR Bilateral Stimulation — Adjusted to You### Control the movement, speed, colors, and appearance of your visual stimulation
Bilateral stimulation is an important element of EMDR. One common method uses a visual object that moves repeatedly between the left and right sides, guiding the eyes from one side to the other.
But not everyone prefers the same movement.
Some people want a slow, gentle rhythm. Others prefer faster motion, a different object size, stronger contrast, or a calmer background.
self EMDR lets you adjust the visual stimulation to suit your preferences.
You control the experience
Instead of forcing you into a predefined session, self EMDR gives you direct control over the visual stimulation.
You can adjust:
- Movement and speed
- The appearance of the moving object
- Object and background colors
- The overall visual contrast This makes it possible to create anything from a subtle, calming presentation to a clear, highly visible movement across the screen.
There are no complicated menus or programs to work through. Open the app, choose the settings that feel right, and begin.
Use the screen that works for you
self EMDR is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
An iPhone keeps the tool close at hand. An iPad provides more space for the visual movement, while a Mac offers the largest display and can be useful in a fixed, comfortable setting.
The app provides the same focused experience across all three platforms, so you can choose the device that best fits the moment.
No guidance you did not ask for
Many wellness apps try to guide every part of the experience. They include questionnaires, predefined goals, spoken instructions, progress scores, reminders, and session histories.
self EMDR deliberately avoids this.
The app does not ask what you are thinking about, attempt to evaluate your emotional state, or tell you how a session should proceed. It provides an adjustable bilateral stimulation tool and leaves the rest to you.
This also makes it useful alongside professional guidance. A therapist can define the therapeutic process, while the app provides the visual movement.
Simple and private
No account is required, no personal data is collected, and the app works without an internet connection.
There are no advertisements, analytics, online profiles, or cloud-based session records. You can simply open the app whenever you want to use it.
EMDR remains a therapeutic process
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a structured psychotherapy method in which bilateral stimulation can form part of a broader therapeutic process.
self EMDR provides the visual stimulation tool. It does not diagnose or treat a condition and is not a replacement for professional therapy.
When working with traumatic or severely distressing experiences, support from a qualified professional may be appropriate.
The movement you prefer, at your own pace
A bilateral stimulation tool does not need to be complicated.
It should let you select a comfortable speed, create a suitable visual environment, and focus on the movement without unnecessary distractions.
That is the idea behind self EMDR: a straightforward, adjustable tool that puts the visual experience under your control.
