TetaLink is a browser-based service for EMDR therapy. A therapist leads the session by video and controls bilateral stimulation on the client's screen. Without a therapist, an autopilot guides you by voice through the 8 phases of the protocol.
Works in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone. Nothing to install.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. You hold a difficult memory in mind while following a dot that moves from left to right. After several sets the memory is still there, but it usually stops hurting the way it used to.
The method was developed by the American psychologist Francine Shapiro in 1987. The World Health Organization (2013) and the UK's NICE (2018) recommend EMDR for post-traumatic stress disorder.
The work follows an 8-phase protocol, and progress is tracked with two scales: SUD (0–10) and VoC (1–7).
What EMDR is and the 8 phases of the protocolThe same protocol underlies both sessions with a therapist and self-guided practice.

How the autopilot worksThe client sees a dark screen, the dot and your video. You see the same screen with a control panel at the side.
The order follows Francine Shapiro. TetaLink guides you through it both with a therapist and in the autopilot.
The presenting problem, resources and contraindications; targets for the work are chosen.
Explaining the method, a resourced state, the “safe place” exercise.
Image, negative and positive belief, VoC, emotion, SUD, body sensation.
Sets of bilateral stimulation until SUD drops to 0–1.
The positive belief is strengthened with sets until VoC reaches 6–7.
Looking for leftover tension; if there is any, a few more sets.
A container for unfinished material, stabilization, returning to the here and now.
At the next session: what has changed, whether the result holds, which target comes next.
Self-guided EMDR is not for everyone. We say so before you pay, not in the fine print.

Answers to the questions we hear most often.
TetaLink is an online EMDR service that runs in your browser. It has two modes. A therapist runs a video session with a client and controls bilateral stimulation on the client's screen. Without a therapist, you can do a session on your own: an autopilot voice-guides you through the 8 phases of Francine Shapiro's protocol. TetaLink is not a medical service and not a replacement for therapy.
The therapist creates a room and sends the client a code. The client opens app.tetalink.com and enters the code and a name; no registration is needed. Then it is a video call: the therapist follows the 8-phase protocol using on-screen prompts and starts the sets, the dot moves across the client's screen, and sound can alternate left and right in headphones. The client rates SUD and VoC on their own device, and the session summary goes to the log. Video is never recorded.
Self-guided practice is only for mild to moderate distress: an unpleasant conversation, fear of public speaking, anxiety before an event, a memory that keeps nagging at you. With PTSD or severe trauma, dissociation, epilepsy, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, or pregnancy without your doctor's approval, EMDR should only be done with a professional. If you are in crisis right now, call your local emergency number (112 in Europe, 911 in the US).
The Therapist plan is ₽2,000 per month: unlimited sessions and clients, the autopilot for your own use included, and clients pay nothing. The Autopilot plan is ₽1,000 per month with the first day free. The guide's neural voice for personalized phrases is paid with tokens: about ₽6 per 1,000 characters, 1 token = ₽1; standard phrases and the browser voice are free. Payment is by card (in Russian rubles) and auto-renewal can be turned off in your account with one click.
No. TetaLink runs in a browser on a computer, tablet or phone. A session with a therapist needs a camera and microphone, and headphones are recommended for sound stimulation.
