Following careful analysis of the existing EMDR device solutions (both hardware and software), we believe that we have developed a solution that is both immediately accessible for clinical users *and* provides the necessary flexibility for in-session adjustment.

“EMDR for Clinicians” 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.

Instructions for use:
Please Note: this application is designed only for use by properly trained clinicians.
1. Purchase “EMDR for Clinicians” application from iTunes store (for your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch).
2. Launch the “EMDR for Clinicians” application.
3. Plug your headphones (any kind) into the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch. “EMDR for Clinicians” can also be used with computer speakers.
4. Set the bilateral tone speed by using the Speed Bar (“Slow/Fast”).
5. Set the bilateral tone volume by using the Volume Bar (“Quiet/Loud”).
6. Give the headphones to the person who will be receiving the bilateral audio stimulation.
7. Press the green Start/Stop button to start the bilateral sounds. The counter will display the duration of each reprocessing set, in seconds.
8. Press the red Start/Stop button to stop the bilateral sounds. The counter will continue to display the duration of the last reprocessing set until a new set is started.

“★★★★★ The best recovery app …. a beautiful reminder and focusing process to manage my addiction.”

iSponsor For Women: 12 Step Recovery Sober Living For Alcoholics is a carefully designed “always-on” sobriety reminder system for use by women in a twelve step recovery program.

When the well-known recovery organization was founded in 1935, it was widely believed that women couldn’t be alcoholics, and that they didn’t even deserve a place in the organization. We now of course know that women form a vital and essential part of the recovery community.

Research has shown that women have a special way of communicating and healing that is different than men. We created this version of the app specifically for women, in recognition of both the special challenges women face in this world, and the unique strengths they bring to recovery.

iSponsor for Women helps women in recovery remember their strongest motivations to stay sober, even when times are tough cravings are intense.

Recommended usage:

1. Download application
2. Set your date of sobriety
3. Choose motivation images of loved ones from your device
4. Add your own text motivations as requested
5. While you work, study, or relax, keep iSponsor running on your mobile device as an always-on reminder system
