Virtual BLS (Beta)

An Interactive EMDR Tool

EMDR in a Game-Like Format

An interactive “game-like” tool developed exclusively for licensed clinicians trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Clinicians have complete control of the session. Clients can either click or tap the targets that appear on the left and right of the screen.

Join the beta

This project is currently seeking licensed clinicians who are trained in EMDR who would be willing to test out the features and provide feedback/ideas. 

Recent Project Updates

New in this round of beta testing:

  • The “stop” button no longer causes the client page to go into a refresh loop
  • A client status indicator for the settings page now exists.
  • A new server backend featuring:
    • User accounts, each with their own instance of the core game files.
    • An update mechanism that pushes core game updates out to user accounts
  • …And a cool new homepage 🙂

From the previous beta:

  • Real-time control of the session from the settings page.
  • A “stop” button in settings that will immediately end  the BLS activity and refresh back to the “start” button on the client side.
  • Updates to button wording to make things easier based on tester feedback 

Create A Session

In-Person, or Virtually

Complete Control

Clinicians can set the length of each round of bi-lateral stimulation as well as the type of background (new options coming soon!) and target image (more options coming soon here too!)


Once a clinician taps the “Generate Session” button, a link to the session can be sent to the client’s device either in-person, or over the internet.


A “Stop” button will return the client to the “start” button in the event that a round of processing needs to end before the timer expires.

A Game-Like Approach to EMDR

When ready, clients can tap the “start” button to begin the activity.

 When the timer expires, they will be presented with instructions to take a deep breath and check in with their clinician.


* A landscape orientation of at least 10.5″ is recommended for the sake of the targets being as bi-lateral as possible
