Questions therapists ask
Free BLS tool FAQs
Is Somatic Pulse really free?＋
Yes. The free version includes 20 visual stimuli, two Earth Environments, one light bar, four bilateral sounds, essential controls, and therapist-created private client links. It does not require a credit card or impose a session-duration limit.
Do I need an account to use the free BLS tool?＋
No. An account is required only when purchasing or managing Somatic Pulse Premium.
Can I use Somatic Pulse in remote EMDR sessions?＋
Qualified clinicians can create a temporary private link for an adult client age 18 or older. The clinician controls the BLS presentation, and the client does not create an account or receive therapist controls.
What does Premium add?＋
Somatic Pulse Premium costs $9.99 per month and unlocks the complete library of visual stimuli, Earth Environments, light bars, bilateral sounds, advanced pathways, and saved presets.
Does Somatic Pulse conduct EMDR therapy?＋
No. Somatic Pulse presents therapist-controlled visual and optional auditory bilateral stimulation. It does not assess readiness, select treatment, monitor the client, provide an EMDR protocol, or replace clinical judgment and appropriate training.
Will upgrading interrupt a live session?＋
No. Somatic Pulse does not open checkout during an active BLS set, and an entitlement change does not terminate an active remote session.
