EMDR lives inside the same video session as everything else. You don't pivot to a second tool, you don't ask your client to download anything, and you don't lose your face on screen when the stimulus is running. Tap **EMDR** in the call toolbar, configure the set, and start. What your client sees, what they hear, and what they feel come from one movement rather than three things kept in step — see [One movement, not three](/emdr/staying-in-sync). Bilateral visual stimulation is hard-capped at **2.0 Hz**. The cap holds wherever the speed can be set, and it can't be raised. See [Photosensitive epilepsy safety](/emdr/photosensitive-epilepsy-safety) for the rationale and what to screen for before your first BLS set. ## Start here What the EMDR surface does inside a session — practitioner controls, client view, and what runs where. Why the picture, the sound and a paired phone hold together — and what to do when the connection degrades mid-set. Shapiro's original protocol, the EMDR 2.0 variant, WHO and NICE guidance, and the meta-analyses behind the field. Where the BLS Workspace fits in the standard Shapiro protocol and which templates pair with each phase. The Configure modal walkthrough — rate, stimulus, modalities, sound, path, sets, backdrop, dual-task toggle. ## Running an EMDR session Five stimulus shapes, six motion paths, and the 0.3 to 2.0 Hz speed range. Eight synthesized sound presets with hard L/R panning. The prompts, across five categories, that load working memory in parallel with BLS in EMDR 2.0. Eight gradient scenes and eight photo backdrops to settle the visual field behind the stimulus. Wolpe's Subjective Units of Distress (0–10) — how Rivet captures it between sets and where it lives. SUDS trajectory, stats tiles, and the one-tap export at the end of the session. Spacebar start and stop, speed changes mid-set, mid-session reconfigure, and why nothing auto-advances between sets. ## Safety and practice The 2.0 Hz hard cap, the first-use warning modal, what to screen for, and what to do mid-set if a client reports symptoms. Client environment, browser window, headphones, and choosing between EMDR 2.0 and Classic for a given client. Contraindications, training requirements, and what Rivet's tooling replaces — and what it doesn't.
