About OpenEMDR

1. Designed to help people heal from traumatic or distressing memories, EMDR has helped many people suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and everyday stress.

2. OpenEMDR was created to allow people to explore the benefits of EMDR therapy on their own, and determine if EMDR therapy is right for them.

3. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

4. This tool is not a replacement for professional therapy, and users are encouraged to consult with a trained therapist to get the full benefit of EMDR.

OpenEMDR Customer Insights

1. Processing should only be done in conjunction with a real time therapist in person or online.Great customisable app for visual EMDR only no sound .responsive developer and some instructionsI'm not sure what I'm telling myself while this eyemovement is happening.

2. It leaves me feeling peaceful and able to plan how to work towards clarity.As an EMDR therapist, I believe this can work in landscape mode and speed and length of processing time are individually determined by client and therapist.

3. As a certified EMDR therapist, this being available would greatly increase its clinical application and can support people where using your eyes is not possible.

4. Appreciate this being a free app to help deliver EMDR therapy and that there are some different coloured and shaped themes available.

5. I was hoping it would offer a bilateral sound function, as I think that would be more useful as for eye movements I feel there are better ways to administer those than with a phone app.Love the app, nice and simple.

6. The short sessions help me to put aside my distressed feelings about an event and help me to move forward in my thoughts without being stuck so much.

7. My psychologist uses it on her tablet and it works fine, but it doesn't work on my phone.

8. If this was done it would be fantasticI have done EMDR with a therapist.

9. However I found the app a bit basic, I did like the delay before the shape starts to move and the way one has to stop and start it.

10. I would like to tell more details and resolve this issue with the developer if possible.

11. :)I feel this app needs strongly to add sound options also.
