What is EMDRly?

EMDR therapy is powerful work. Between sessions, memories surface, dreams become vivid, and emotions can feel overwhelming. EMDRly is designed to be there for you during those moments.

It's not a replacement for your therapist—it's a supportive tool that helps you:

  • Capture thoughts and memories when they surface
  • Process your feelings in a safe, private space
  • Track your progress over time
  • Prepare for your next session with meaningful insights
  • Remember how far you've come on hard days

Gentle Check-ins, When You Need Them

EMDRly's daily check-in is a simple 5-step flow that takes just a minute. Track how you're feeling, note your distress level, and record whether memories or dreams surfaced—all at your own pace.

If your distress level is high, EMDRly connects you directly to crisis support. On lighter days, it's simply a moment to check in with yourself.

  • 5-step guided check-in with feeling and distress tracking
  • Gentle pre-session reminders with encouragement
  • Built-in crisis detection at high distress levels
  • Post-session check-ins to process your experience

Capture Memories As They Surface

After EMDR sessions, memories often continue to surface—in the car, at dinner, in the middle of the night. EMDRly gives you a safe Container to record them so you don't lose those insights.

Tag memories with emotions and body sensations, flag important ones for your therapist, and use journal prompts when you need a starting point.

  • Quick capture with emotions and body sensations
  • Flag memories to discuss with your therapist
  • Journal prompts to help you get started
  • Search and organize your memories over time
  • Export your journal to share with your therapist

Dream Journal for EMDR

During EMDR therapy, many people experience more vivid or intense dreams. This is a normal part of the processing that continues while you sleep.

EMDRly helps you capture and explore these dreams, offering gentle insights into how they might connect to your healing work—without interpreting or analyzing in ways that should be left to your therapist.

  • Quick dream capture upon waking
  • Intensity tracking from mild to lucid
  • Nightmare flagging for therapist awareness
  • Flag dreams to discuss in your next session
  • Track patterns in your dreams over time

Track Your Progress

Healing isn't linear. On hard days, it can feel like you haven't made any progress at all. EMDRly helps you see the bigger picture.

The app tracks how you felt after each session—fatigue levels, emotions, what you did afterward. Over time, you'll see patterns and, more importantly, evidence of your resilience.

  • Post-session mood and energy tracking
  • Session count and milestone celebrations
  • "Remember when" prompts on difficult days
  • Private progress insights just for you
  • Optional sharing of metrics with your therapist
