"EMDR For Clinicians Basic" is the intro-level clinician-grade EMDR application for iOS platorms. We have designed this application from the ground up to allow for optimum ergonomics and ease-of-use in real world clinical settings.
NOTE: This application is appropriate for clinicians who are newly certified in EMDR. For more experienced clinicians, we recommend “EMDR For Clinicians PRO”. This basic version of the app features a lower maximum tone speed, which is easier for clinicians new to EMDR to control.
“EMDR for Clinicians Basic” can be used with any set of headphones, or can be plugged into computer speakers. It features adjustable frequency tones, synthesized especially EMDR use, as well as an adjustable volume.
The application displays the duration of each reprocessing set, in seconds, for easier note-taking, and when stopped, the duration counter does not immediately return to zero, allowing the clinician to ergonomically make note of the duration of the reprocessing set.
Background on EMDR: EMDR is a model of psychotherapy that has been demonstrated in many studies to be highly effective at treating the symptoms of trauma and other psychological issues. EMDR uses a structured eight-phase psychotheraputic approach which addresses the past, present, and future aspects of dysfunctionally stored memory. During the processing phases of EMDR, the client attends to the disturbing memory in multiple brief sets of about 15–30 seconds, while simultaneously focusing on the dual attention stimulus. Following each set of such dual attention, the client is asked what associative information was elicited during the procedure.
Note: This application is for use only by clinicians who have received appropriate training in EMDR.

Latest reviews of EMDR For Clinicians Basic app for iPhone and iPad
When the phone goes black because of the energy saver it stops! No useful.
I purchased this app last year and following a recent update and new phone, the app no longer opens. When I tried to contact for support, I was not able to as it was not recognized that I already own the app!! Even though the app was in my cloud. In order to write this review or contact support I had to purchase this app again! Dont bother buying this, since support is not available when you need it!
As an EMDR therapist this application turns my phone into a Thera-tones bilateral stimulation machine. Works like my light bars tone setting for about 1% of the cost and is much more portable (obviously). I like the simple nature of the application the tones have good resonance. A counter would be nice but other than that I have no complaints. I used it on myself utilizing the EMDR pain management protocol for a tooth ache and the pain is gone. I would caution clients or the general public to only use this application with instructions from a trained EMDR therapist.
This app is good, but I already purchased it last year from a company called Ezvid. The previous version no longer works on ios9, this updated version does. Same app, new publisher. Bring charged twice for the same app. I will be reporting this company for gaming the system / fraud.
