I prefer Bi-Tapp pulsers for offering bilateral stimulation for clients who do not want to be personally tapped, and for remote sessions. I find the Bi-Tapp pulsers to be the most natural feeling and non-intrusive alternatives for bilateral stimulation. I have clients either put them under their legs, in their socks, they can hold them, or wear them with wristbands.
People I’ve referred to bi-tapp.com have reported the company was easy to work with, and responsive to needs and questions. I highly recommend this product, and regularly refer therapists in the somatic EMDR trainings I offer.”

Client-Controlled
Teletherapy Sessions
Teletherapy sessions: Your client will need to purchase the Bi-Tapp kit or have access to the tappers.
- The client will download the free Bi-Tapp App on their iOS (Apple) or Android device.
- Your client will pair their tappers to the Bi-Tapp.
- For an EMDR teletherapy session, the client will adjust the rate of speed and rate of intensity of the bilateral tapping through the App. This can be likened to a client manually tapping for an EMDR teletherapy session, except the tappers do the bilateral tapping for you.

“I use RemotEMDR + Bi-Tapp online which has audio drums and other instruments, music, or nature sounds for bilateral stimulation. RemotEMDR also has a visual component with balls that move in many directions and the Bi-Tapp(ers). You have to get permission from your client to control the tappers during the session through RemotEMDR. Your client does have to be able to download the app onto their phone to give you permission. The tappers can be worn on their wrists, or can be in their hands and are cordless. I’ve had a good experience with these over this past year and clients seem to really like the tappers.”

Testimonials
“I have found Bi-Tapp to be very efficient and helpful! The tappers charge quickly and my clients can choose the speed and intensity of the tapping that feels comfortable to them. My practice involves a lot of children, so I like that the tappers are cordless. Some of my clients have purchased their own to use when their anxiety gets high. They have found them helpful in reducing their anxiety at home or in stressful situations in their life.”

Personally & Professionally I have seen the positive impact of using Bi-Tapps! I wear them on the way home from work & find I am more centered & relaxed & not thinking as much about the day behind me.
I have also noticed how they help me sustain concentration! I have seen their benefits in reducing anxiety, improving sleep patterns & increasing the ability to manage pain. It is truly remarkable to just be able to put them on & let the gentle pulsing help the nervous system to reset. I take them everywhere I go!

I highly recommend Bi-Tapps! I have purchased a pair for all of my children and grandchildren.
As a therapist I recommend Bi-Tapps for my clients who need help managing daily stressors. Parents use them to help their children stay focused with homework, relax at the end of the school day, added to the nighttime bed routine, Bi-Tapps can assist with the ability to fall asleep. I also use them myself! Bi-Tapps are a valuable tool to help regulate one’s nervous system.
