Frequently Asked Questions

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people process and recover from traumatic experiences. Our app provides self-guided visual bilateral stimulation tools based on EMDR principles.

Is this app a replacement for professional therapy?

No. Balanced Mind EMDR is a self-help tool designed to complement, not replace, professional mental health treatment. If you are experiencing severe symptoms or trauma, please consult with a licensed mental health professional.

How do I start an EMDR session?

Tap the "Session" tab, then "Start New Session". You'll be guided through setting up your session including choosing a target memory, rating your distress level (SUDS), and selecting your preferred visual settings.

What are binaural tones?

Binaural tones are an auditory processing effect where two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear, creating a perceived beat. Different frequencies are associated with different mental states like relaxation, focus, or sleep.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Journal entries are protected with end-to-end encryption, meaning only you can read them. All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 encryption. We never sell or share your personal therapy data.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can manage your subscription through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on iOS, or Google Play > Menu > Subscriptions on Android.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Go to Settings in the app and select "Export Data". You'll receive a complete copy of your session history, journal entries, and progress data within 30 days.

What if I need immediate crisis support?

If you are in crisis or experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please contact emergency services (911) or the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. Our app includes a crisis resources section with additional helplines.
