One self-guided EMDR-based app holding thirteen programs, all with a single purpose, adapted to the arena you are in: to help people work through what holds them back and strengthen what moves them forward.
The choke, the bad night, the lost deal, the hearing in court: the moments that matter most are often the ones our minds replay. EMDR Apps exists to give people under pressure a structured, private and measurable way to reduce the emotional charge of those memories and build the qualities they want to carry forward.
We do not replace coaches, sports psychologists or therapists. We offer a well-built self-guided tool, with clear boundaries, safety steps and honest guidance toward additional support when needed.
The method is authored by Dr. Helinä Häkkänen, psychologist, psychotherapist, EMDR consultant and adjunct professor at the University of Helsinki. Every program is developed with psychological expertise and reviewed for structure, language, screening thresholds and safety steps before release.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured psychotherapy method that uses bilateral stimulation, such as left-right sounds or a moving visual target, while a person focuses on a distressing memory. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is now one of the most extensively researched psychological treatments for trauma-related symptoms.
As a psychotherapy treatment, EMDR is delivered by trained professionals and is recommended for post-traumatic stress disorder by several international guidelines. EMDR Apps does not replace therapy. It adapts selected EMDR-informed elements into a self-guided, structured format for non-diagnostic use, with screening, grounding and safety steps built in.
EMDR psychotherapy is a clinical treatment delivered by trained professionals. EMDR Apps are not psychotherapy, not a medical device and not a treatment for any condition.
The apps adapt selected EMDR-informed elements (bilateral stimulation, dual attention, structured reflection, grounding and resource building) into a guided self-help format for people who want to work with performance-related memories, cognitions and pressure.
Research and guideline recommendations for EMDR refer to EMDR psychotherapy, not to this app. EMDR Apps makes no claim to reproduce the clinical outcomes of therapist-delivered EMDR.
