I can’t say enough about the positives of your product and what it has changed for my clients and me! I would have never had the opportunity to reprocess with my first client today had it not been for the platform. She has a medical condition that often leaves her needing additional rest post EMDR session, and at home she can safely do that.

  • Thank you for this excellent product, you have made providing EMDR to clients so much simpler. I refer all the therapists I supervise and work with to your program.

  • I discovered bilateralstimulation.io, and honestly, it has been a game changer for me. Your product is so easy to use, and I’ve been genuinely impressed with how helpful it has been in my work with clients.

  • Yes, the BLS tool more than meets expectations. I cannot imagine trying to do EMDR remotely without it!

  • It’s really really fantastic. I love all the different audio and visual effects choices, and my clients do, too! Being able to use colors, images, and sounds to enhance my clients’ shifts and associations is so incredibly impactful. And because I’m an all-remote therapist, it is crucial to my practice. I am so grateful that you created this tool. Well worth the money. Thank you so much!!

  • I find this tool an extremely valuable one. I have used tactile tools and my fingers for EMDR for some time. I now find it helpful to keep both an iPad and laptop in the office so that I can give the iPad to the patient during in-person sessions. This, in addition to its use for remote work makes your site extremely helpful and flexible.

  • I was so delighted to discover the portable bilateral buzzers from BilateralStimulation.io. One of the things I appreciate most is how supportive these buzzers are for clients who are traveling, balancing busy schedules, or simply engaging in therapy from different environments. They’re intuitive to use for both practitioners and clients, easy to travel with, and create a much more immersive and accessible virtual EMDR experience. These are absolutely the kinds of tools I recommend!

  • The platform is very user-friendly! I have been using bilateralstimulation.io for years now and did not know all of the features that it had to offer. I will definitely continue using the platform for years to come, due to the benefits that it offers to my clients.

  • Thank you all for your help, and for creating such an amazing resource. I have been using this software since 2020, and it has helped me help SO many clients. I am so grateful for the software, and for all of you who helped create it!

  • Everything has been working great and I even was able to trial the hand tappers this week, which is great because that was something I wasn’t able to offer to my telehealth clients in the past.
