App summary

Anxiety Release based on EMDR shows you how to release anxious thoughts and feelings naturally, by harnessing the power of your brain. It does this by combining guided instructions and focused attention with bilateral brain stimulation. Bilateral stimulation is a treatment element of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), a revolutionary treatment which is based on the use of sensory stimulation to alter anxiety-provoking memories and responses. Over 30 randomized controlled studies of EMDR attest to the efficacy of this process. The author also has two research studies in submission with peer-reviewed scientific journals based on this process.

Because bilateral stimulation appeals to the unconscious, sensing part of the brain, there is no need for effortful thinking or struggling with feelings. All you have to do is LISTEN and your brain will do the rest! The App consists of;
1 x brain training session
2 x guided anxiety management sessions
1 x pure bilateral stimulation session (audio & visual)
1 x safe place exercise
Progress Log function with prompts
Powerful Bls brain visual simulating brain activity associated with anxiety reduction

This App is suitable for both clinicians and the general public. However, persons suffering with complex PTSD or mental health problems, multiple psychological trauma or unstable neurological conditions (eg; epilepsy) should not use this product without medical supervision.

This app has been tested on Galaxy tab 2, Galaxy S4, and Google Nexus 7.

Amazing app for very deep loss.in my case. But for anyone. I heard about it from a therapist and have tried to pass on to other therapists but can't seem to be able to send a link to them from my phone...now hard to find on play store.

Thus far, does seem to lower anxiety well (only used for a few days). I do like the male voice, very calming and the BLS seems to stop attacks, at least one. The app does not give you affirmations when your anxiety doesn't go down after a session and that seems very counterproductive, as you're making the effort and should still get encouragement (this should go without saying on this type of app). Thank you for this app, I wish the calm and confident one had different material from this one.

It doesn't even seem logical how much it works, but it does. Bilateral auditory stimulation in this app with the guided meditations can really help pull you out of, and help you prepare for, situations that cause you anxiety and other strong emotions.
